DxO introduces revolutionary DSLR-quality camera that attaches directly to the iPhone®
This is interesting, I’ve known about it for a little while as I’m fortunate to have some ‘connections’ (my husband is one of the technical consultants) for DxO; a world leader in digital imaging technologies. They have introduced the DxO ONE, a revolutionary camera that delivers DSLR image quality in an extremely compact size. At 3.8 oz (108 g) and 2.65” (6.9 cm) tall, the DxO ONE is so small that it easily fits in a pocket, yet it features an ultra-high quality f/1.8, 32mm equivalent aspherical lens with a variable 6-blade iris and a 1-inch 20.2MP CMOS BSI sensor capable of capturing high-resolution images even in very low light.…

iPad Mini Nodus Case – Hot Buy! – TheAppWhisperer
I’m excited, a few days ago I took delivery of a brand spanking new iPad Mini, of course it’s oozing gorgeousness, you know that.

ExoLens – Professional Photography System for iPhone 6
I am very interested in this new professional lens system which comprises of two lenses – a 3x telephoto lens and a 165 degree wide angle lens – each screw into a machined aluminium bracket that literally slides onto your iPhone. Each bracket supports tripod mounts and selfie sticks/monopods with a 1/4″ -20 tripod mount. Each kit is also supplied with lens caps, lens hood for the telephoto lens and a microfibre cleaning and carrying pouch. I have not tested this product as yet and therefore cannot vouch for the optical quality but I hope to do so soon. ‘ExoLens was born out of many years of lens and housing…
