Use the tip of your finger to 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 capture an entire business card with astounding clarity. Slide the lens aside for normal photography.
And, of course, Clarifi is also a super-protective case, constructed of durable polycarbonate, with cutaways for access to power switch, headphone jack, volume controls, and dock connector.
For use,with Apple Universal Dock wells, Clarifi features Griffin’s trademark, EasyDock™ design: the bottom of the case slides down and off to fit in standard dock wells.

Japanese startup Tonchidot demoed a mobile social tagging product it is developing called Sekai Camera at the TechCrunch50.
“The Japanese CEO Takahito Iguchi overcame a very noticeable language barrier and deflected serious questions from the judges through sheer will of character. He had the audience roaring in laughter and rooting for him, as he answered lengthy questions about how his service would actually work with brief responses such as “Imagination!” and “We have a patent.” When judge Rafe Needleman suggested that Google would buy Tonchidot, he objected: “Never!””
The original video portion of the demo has been watched more than 108,000 times on YouTube. TechCrunch embedded the entire demo below, including the follow-up Q&A. The entire video is 17 minutes long - But well worth watching.

No - I am going to post about this great new app I just found on Cydia, it’s called CopiercIN. It is True Copy and Paste Text between Notes, SMS and Email on your iPhone - For FREE!!
You can import sms, notes, emails and txt documents for now, and paste then together, and then export the pasted/typed text to an email, sms or note all within CopiercIN. The developer has stated that he has plans to release this as open source and expand CopiercIN’s features to Safari and other apps. But this is a wonderful solution to a big problem. Now only if there was a way for this to work with AppStore and Third Party Dev Apps like Wordpress, MagicPad and TextGuru.
Screenshots below and video after in a couple mins:
TextGuru is a new iPhone application that seeming to be pretty useful. Create and edit a wide variety of document types (including HTML). TextGuru includes the following features:
Cut/Copy/Paste
Find and replace text
Autosaves your documents
Search document collection in entirety
Web previews for web documents
Pastebin support (with Pastie and Sprunge)
Email entire documents
Display documents with different iPhone fonts (22 available)
Ability to view binary documents in either Hex or ASCII representations (all I can say about this is: 61 77 65 73 6f 6d 65)
This application has a built-in sharing feature to get your documents onto/off of your iPhone. Using the sharing feature requires you to download some additional free software, which currently runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. A Windows version of the server software for your computer is in the works.
TextGuru also allows you to use Cut/Copy/Paste throughout the application. To use this feature, just double-tap, then hold and drag your finger across the text you wish to highlight. The application places brackets [ ] around the text that’s highlighted. You can then press the Cut/Copy/Paste buttons along the toolbar. TextGuru is available from the iTunes AppStore for $4.99 (US).
Looks like my days of hardware hacks to improve the iPhone camera are over.
