Phlash phone flash for fine phone photos

by Paul Miller, posted Mar 20th 2006 at 9:00PM

We'd really have to see it in practice to know what this little device could do for our admittedly lame cameraphone pics, but this new Phlash LED phone flash claims to be 12 times brighter than your average phone flash. All you do is stick the Phlash to the back of your phone and then push its button while taking your picture. You'll want to have the flash on for long enough to get the exposure right with your phone, so we're not quite sure how long the battery is going to last -- Phlash claims "hundreds of brief flash cycles." The Phlash is recommended for closeup pics, up to around one meter, and can be attached to your phone via a short strap if you don't want to commit the back of your handset to its adhesive.

I carry something similar in my camera bag, it's called a mag-lite. I can also beat the hell out of some wanna-be cell phone photographer when they get on my nerves with it.

Note: Nothing wrong with cell phone camera's in general, just don't go around telling people you can match the quality of a 6MP (or higher) DSLR, it just ain't gonna happen.
