iPhone SLR mount
Sometimes, there are just some moments where you wish you had a better zoom on your iPhone or ability to take that macro shot or wish you could use your wide angle lens without bringing your whole SLR kit. Well, now there’s a way to further your iPhone!
This mount by Photojojo is essentially a case for the phone that allows you to attach either Nikon F-mount or Canon EF-mount lenses. The case is made from a lightweight aluminium and the lenses are slotted in. The iPhone SLR mount also comes with a UV filter and has two strap loops and a tripod attachment.
It will be available mid August 2011 for around US$249.

Ulysse Nardin Chairman Smart Phone
Uysse Nardin’ Chairman Smart Phone’s are not covered in diamonds or dipped in gold but they sure place great emphasis on beautiful craftmanship.
Celebrated Swiss vanguard watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has partnered with the European firm, SCI Innovations, to create the world’s first hybrid smart phone called the ‘Chairman’. This smart phone pairs cutting-edge kinetic technology with the pedigree of the 163-year-old timepiece innovator. While details are limited, it has been confirmed that the Chairman will be able to use any mobile phone service provider in the world and includes several components never seen before in a smart phone.
It will incorporate a Ulysse Nardin designed kinetic rotor system which is blended into the mechanical and aesthetical design of the smart phone. This smart-phone is hand-assembled under the strictest guidelines mandated by Ulysse Nardin.
Sony Ericsson ‘The Idou’ Mobile Phone
With the Sony brand attached to their phones I expected a lot more from a design point of view but then again Ericsson have never really made any spectacular looking phones. I’m just thinking back to when the T28 was out and Nokia had their 8100 so called banana phone.
However, it looks like Ericsson has decided to let Sony look after the design aspects of the phone. In 2010, Sony will unveil The Idou. Strange name but its just a code name until they give it a proper name next year. The phone looks sleek and has a more Sony look and feel to it.
The phone will have a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash. The screen is a massive 3.5 inches with a 16:9 aspect ratio. These are only official specs that we know and things may be added or changed when the phone is released in 2010.

New solar-powered mobile phone
A new solar-powered mobile phone will hit the market as early as June this year for under $US40. The phone looks very much a ‘made in china’ phone but we thought we would feature this phone solely because its the first low cost solar powered mobile phone ever produced.
With a design you would get from a $2 shop, the Colar-200-Solar as it is called generates electricity from a single mini solar panel located on the back of the phone. The phone looks very cheap and it is at only $US40 you can get the phone outright.
The phone is produced by Chinese group ZTE and is targeted at people that don’t have access to electricity. This is no joke, there is about ‘two billion people who have limited or no access to electricity,’ said Wang Yong Zhong, general manager of ZTE.
Toshiba Snapdragon TG01
Toshiba unvieled their new Snapdragon TG01 today. The mobile phone comes with Windows Mobile 6 plus all the connectivity options, including assisted GPS, Bluetooth v2.0, Wi-Fi and HSDPA/HSUPA 3G-based mobile broadband.
The phone is only 9.9mm making it slimmer then the iPhone 3G (12.3mm) and the Touch HD (12mm). It also has a 1Ghz processor, 4.1-inch touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera and the microSD card is expandable to 32GB’s.
This is going to be a serious competitor for the iPhone. Full specs and pricing will be released later this month.
