I have a mobile phone that has a 1.3-Megapixel sensor. And whenever I take photos, I find it quite annoying that I have to use the digital zoom function whenever the person/object that I am shooting is just too far away. Although I prefer using a digital camera, companies like Brando has a way of making the mobile phone a powerful shooter (in a way).

It's called the "Mobile Phone Telescope," and this is a sure fire way of improving your shots one magnification at a time...

We do not have any unit for testing but allow me to share to you what it can do. This is a normal shot coming from their cellular phone camera...

Now, this is a shot right after installing the lens unto their mobile phone...

Amazing isn't it? Anyway, here's a shot of the magnifier installed on a mobile phone...

The product comes with the lens, a lanyard, and a mounting device and will cost you US$19. Better visit the Brando site for more information. This is availale for Sony Ericsson phones as well as Nokia phones, so if it tickles your fancy, then better get a move on!
