Griffin takes on the iPhone Lens

Griffin Technology, the technical solution providers and digital accessories makers, have designed a very cool iPhone case with built-in lens for extra focus called the Clarifi.

From their website:

Slide the Clarifi lens into place over the built-in lens of your iPhone. Your macro and close-up shots are instantly finer in detail, more accurate in color. With Clarifi's lens, your iPhone can image an entire business card with astounding clarity. Slide the lens aside for normal photography. WIthout Clarifi, iPhone requires about 18 inches to focus properly. Slide Clarifi's lens into place and you can move in to 4 inches for crisp detail and great pictures.

Apple's new TV spot states that there are 75,000 apps available for the iPhone. All the software stuff people are creating continues to impress, for sure, but my eye will be out for more external "hacks" like this.

Nikon Launches Camera that Projects


Just saw this new product launch from Nikon. The COOLPIX S1000pj is, from what it says, the first digital camera with a built-in projector capability. I'll be interested to follow this capability, and see how Nikon (and others) improve and expand upon this technology.
