"is that a Conice 6x Optical Zoom for iPhone Camera in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
FTL! WTF?! That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I mean, the idea of a better camera isn't stupid but come on...If I wanted that good of pictures I'd just carry my D40 around. Plus...the iPhone is slim and small for a reason.
This can't be an idea from Apple, the "Optical Zoom" is way too large.

I get the concept... a clear acrylic cover with a detachable zoom lens... but honestly, I hate the clear acrylic covers. Dirt & grime get into them and each time you unsnap them to clean it... It never snaps togeher tightly enough and eventually the tabs break off.
I have a better design in mind... but it would probably cost too much.

Haha. When I first read the thread title I thought this thing would be some sort of 3rd party app. Guess I was wrong. Wow it's ugly. lol.
Detachable optical zooms for cell phones have been around for a long time. It's nothing special. The only thing that's special is the acrylic case that it comes with that allows you to attach the lens on.
Some people literally use their camera phones for everything. If they have a nice camera phone, sometimes the optical zoom attachment is a nifty accessory to have around.
So I don't see why people are so like "OMFG WTF THATS RIDONKULOUS WHOO WOULD BUY THAAAT?!"

I can maybe, maybe see why there's a lens for the N95. I mean the camera is 5MP which is not too shabby and will suit many people's point 'n' shoot needs. However, the lens attachment for that looks like it was made by a three-year old child with a box of lego in front of him.
I would have a seriously hard time not bursting into fits of laughter if someone whipped out a lens for their phone to take a pic.

the first....
Digital camera I had was the Nikon Coolpix in 99. It was 2MP, so I don't see the issue with this attachment.
If it actually does a better job than most of the optical zooms that actually distort, for $15, it's certainly worth having if you want to only keep that one extra lens with you.
I still have the Nikon and got a telephoto lens for it. The digital zoom is not really useful to any degree. I don't know if people like it nowadays.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Tahhhhhhhh, All you need now is MMS,GPS and 3G and we have v3.1.
Surely the obvious evolution?
Any takers?

I mean for 15 bucks? I've wasted 15 bucks on much worse. I doubt I would get it but I would like to see some examples of photos taken with the attachment.
Yeah but your Nikon Coolpix probably had a glass lens, rather than a thin plastic excuse for a lens that has no cover and gets gunk in it all the time.
Rule no. 1 about digital cameras: More Megapixels is not equal to better quality photos. A better lens is equal to better quality photos.
Though there is some give and take here, the MP myth needs to be acknowledged.

Even $15 is too much for a crappy plastic lens. There's just no way that thing is going to give you any pictures worth keeping.
SheriffParker is dead on. Does anybody know how small the CCD chip is on the iPhone? Even if the lens wasn't junk, say a $200 attachment instead, that minuscule chip is not going to get you a pic that's worth spending any money on it. Not to mention, I've been reading that people are wishing for a flash unit instead.
