Will.i.am Introduces iPhone Camera Accessory with Slide-Out Keyboard

[Gasu E.]

"Hoodrats" a couple pages ago for one

The only ONE. You found one subtly racist remark out of 250+. The word "steampunk" shows up more times than the word you found.

Matthew 7:1-5.

He'd better get a move on with his iPhone 5 version. Somebody's already cornered the iPad market:

lol...that is awesome.

 

[HiRez]

Wow, just when I thought maybe I was too harsh in my criticism of this concept last week. But this is even more absurd than I ever imagined. Good luck with that, Will! Is it April Fool's Day already?

 

[sam12345]

Behold

 

[Bishop1j]

D.o.a.

 

[seungrok]

This is actually really neat.

I wonder if it also works as a battery pack? I could see a lot of people ditching their DSLRs for this. Certainly has the right number of megapixels.

What... did you just say?

 

[hugo7]

Turdtastic!

10 out of 10 to will.i.am for trying to ride on the success of the iPhone, but this? .. oh dear.

Can't wait to see one of these (and the owner) in the wild.

 

[Tech198]

What... the ****...

lol. looks like something from the 1920's, only customized

Is very ummm.... unpleasing to the human eye........ What are we doing ??

The iPhone is becoming like the Luna where it must be docked... but we now have this crappy bulky accessory.

Heck... even the camera kit looks better ... But if it works...... well...... it works..... This is just becoming another customized mac book.

 

[String]

A new definition of Fugly.

 

[Digipimp]

now that is truly horrible and the keyboard lol wtf

 

[stuaz]

The fact that it only works with iPhone 4/4s I think is the first stumbling block.....

Not to mention that hideous design!

 

[jephrey]

if it actually does what it's designed to do-well, then I don't really care that it has all the bling - except they want me to pay for that. I thought we already beat the keyboard horse dead and then kicked it a few times after that. So I'm paying for something when there's a touch keypad right on the phone?

I like the general idea of using a phone as the processing power behind a nice piece of hardware but when the hardware is priced such that I could get a much better point/shoot for that same amount, why would I get something like this?

and then it's for a previous release of a product... No, I wouldn't even want one for free even if I had a 4/4S right now - assuming I couldn't just sell it of course.

will: people won't one single dSLR for this. You're missing why people have SLR's - it doesn't have a lot to do with megapixels.

 

[Padraig]

About what I'd expect for a guy who thinks "Will.i.am" is clever.

 

[ritmomundo]

That is the ugliest effing case I have ever seen.

Ha, and its for the 4/4S. Not even for the latest iPhone. What a douche.

 

[jamesryanbell]

Immediately classified in my "worst ever" folder.

 

[cxny]

I wish he could see our comments, and then watch him try to defend it

He or "they" probably is looking at this. Sending the whole project to the dump right now where it belongs.

 

[Centient]

Looking at the white/gold model and I have to admit that there is something kind of oddly and outlandishly satisfying about this whole endeavor. It's so gratuitous that it's almost kind of charming.

 

[ncaissie]

You know, it would be really funny to see him bring this on the Dragonsden. They would rip him a new one.

 

[shenfrey]

There can't possibly be a market for this type of thing....right?

Where there is people, theres a market.

 

[Compile 'em all]

I wonder how much do these front page advertisements cost.

 

[h1r0ll3r]

There can't possibly be a market for this type of thing....right?

Right now there is probably some BEP loving tween bugging the hell out of their parents to get this for them as their "only" Christmas/birthday present. I would call this thing garbage but then that would sully the already sullied name of garbage. This should be thrown back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.....along with Will.I.Am for even bringing such as hideous monstrosity to life.

 

[ritmomundo]

I actually didn't expect much better from someone who comes up with the crappiest of song lyrics imaginable.

 

[Ant.honey]

This kind of thing won't stop until people start slapping people again. Will.i.am (name deserves a slap right there), needs to be slapped.

 

[Jetson]

This accessory isn't to my taste, but it's not awful as so many here make out.

I can see people liking it.

Just because you have been conditioned to like minimalist, sleek and thin doesn't mean that other design styles are rubbish.
