Kickstarter – 3DCone: make 3D Stills & Videos with your iPhone
Here’s another new Kickstarter project, this one consists of a 3DCone as a stereoscopic add-on for the iPhone 4 to help create 3D images and videos. It’s just a snap on device. The developers have or are creating an app as well to deal with the additional processing once you’ve captured your image/video. It’s an interesting concept. Currently there are 33 days to go and they have raised $1,924 of a pledged $55,000 goal. It will be interesting to see how this one develops, pardon the pun. Take a look at the video and images below. Go here to view the project.
Midland Sun Headphones – Review
We’ve been testing these headphones for a few weeks back at theappwhisperer HQ and we’re quite impressed. The marketing claim of these headphones is that they help you ‘beat the heat’ as they’re ‘cooling headphones’. They are lined with cotton and have a ‘transpiring’ fabric on the outside, in order to keep your ears cool. Well, we are not entirely convinced they keep our ears cool but they are quite comfortable nonetheless. Take a look at our review below… They’re quite compact headphones but do not fold up tightly, they are incredibly lightweight though. They come complete with two cables, one cable acts as a answer/control, so you…

Schneider Optics iPro 2x Tele Lens – Expert Review
Schneider Optics is a name that will likely be familiar to most professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. They’re the US subsidiary of Schneider-Kreuznach, the German optical company and makers of high-quality DSLR and large format photographic lenses, and are on a par with Carl Zeiss and Leica.

At the beginning of the new millennium, Schneider Optics bought Century Precision Optics, a North Hollywood based manufacturer of film and video lens accessories. The company specializes in lens converters and mount adaptors for both consumer DV cameras and broadcast lenses and so it’s not really surprising that this brand name is…
