You can now get an 8x zoom telescope, complete with hardcase and mini tripod for your iPhone - I guess it would be useful in some circumstances but who would honestly want to take a call on your phone with this attached to your phone?

See it in action on you tube here, or check out the product review from geek alerts here.

Apple has over 75,000 mobile apps available for download, Nokia < 5,000 Blackberry less. 50% of iPhone users buy Apps – generating US$200 million per month. 19% of handsets running Google Android OS buy Apps. Given that 50% of the world pays to use a mobile phone and only 23% have internet access (according to UN’s International Telecommunication Union) it would seem that mobile apps will become as important as the internet in the near future.

Designers tend to pride themselves on their ability to name a random font, but every now and then a font will come along that can stump even the best know-it-all.

Well fear no more, as myfonts.com has brought out an iPhone app that will save your reputation – WhatTheFont.

WhatTheFont allows you to take a photo of any font, whether it be in a magazine or a web graphic, upload the image to the MyFonts server and in seconds have the correct font identified.

Best of all, WhatTheFont is free. Give it a try, it could get you out of a typography emergency.
