Zoom Lens for Nokia mobile camera phones

July 6, 2006 on 3:56 pm | In camera phone, cell phone | 10 Comments

Nokia Phone with Zoom Lens Mad4MobilePhones has the scoop on a zoom lens by a company based out of Hong Kong called Brando, which can be attached to certain Nokia mobile camera phones.

The lens attaches to the existing camera with a special battery casing, which comes in the kit. The user simply replaces their existing battery casing, attaches the 6x Zoom Lens, and is ready to take great shots.

The whole kit(lens, battery casing and strap) costs $19. You probably shouldn’t expect phenomenal picture quality from it, as a lens is only as good as the camera that it attaches to. Still, at under $20 you probably can’t go wrong.

New LG Cell phone stops drunk calls

June 28, 2006 on 2:10 pm | In cell phone | 14 Comments

Already released in Korea, LG’s new cell phone, the LG LP4100, has a built in breath analyzer test to detect when the user is intoxicated. When a partygoer blows into the cell phone, the phone records their blood-alcohol levels, and if they are over 0.08, then the phone displays an animation of a car swerving on a road and crashing into traffic cones.

The phone also sports a feature where the user can have it programmed to not allow them to make drunk calls to anyone who they decide shouldn’t be bothered at 3AM.

LG has sold more than 200,000 of these phones in Korea, and they plan on releasing the LG LP4100 into the United States market later this year
