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

[markeknows]

Not gonna sell many of those. Horrible

I wonder if a version for the iPhone 5 will come out when the iPhone 6 is released. I'm almost tempted to buy one, because it might become a collector's item – one of the all-time great examples of techno-kitsch.

It makes me think I should proceed with my idea for a clip-on, two-stroke, gasoline-powered battery charger for the iPhone. The slack recoil starter would also function as a carrying strap.

Seriously, I avoid all expensive iDevice accessories that are dependent on the iDevice's form factor, because Apple changes the form factor every year or two.

It's pretty bad , but you know if Steve Jobs presented it there would be a line if lunatics waiting in line pissing themselves like excited dogs

 

[pablo7]

P. O. S. That is all.

Lol aint that the truth.

One thing I DO like about this camera holder is that it's got a very large lens.

iPod, iPad and iPhone cameras are quite awful. They are really little more than a tacked on feature. Apple hasn't done much to improve photo quality over the years.

One reason i-Whatever cameras suck so much is that they have tiny apertures and tiny lenses. You simply don't get enough light inside to make an outstanding photo. I've been very dissappointed by the grainy, poorly focused results of many iPhotos. Close ups are pretty good, but distant photos are especially bad.

Ugly and useless just like him and his music. I miss BEP being the Fergie band.

People having a go at will.i.am. First ask yourself, what have you ever created or done with your life? This guy has done a lot of charity work in the tech field.

He's still garbage in a skin sack

 

[cohibadad]

Fail.i.am

 

[calderone]

Expensive and ugly... Perfect for hipsters!

I am hipster, and I would not want this thing.

 

[ncaissie]

Well Woz and someone else have made a game so you ever know? He had some interesting ideas on interactive television like your actual phone will ring as they dial a phone in the programme and you interact with it, I think he should stick to music and these ideas, rather then design anything.

That sounds like a STUPID idea!

 

[E.Lizardo]

What have you done with your life that makes you so much better than him?

I don't have to do anything to be better than him.I just am.

 

[SeniorGato1]

That reminds me, I need to update my face grill with gold teeth and diamonds.

should also loosen my belt to let my pants sag.

 

[gmans46]

expensive, ugly, way behind the times, someone could easily by a camera with better quality as a standalone for cheaper then that. celebrities should just stay away from trying to do things that smart people are supposed to do. Would he be caught dead holding around one of those?

 

[robertosh]

Ugly!!!!!

 

[joshwithachance]

$500 for the white, "vintage" one? LOL bye.

 

[MicahL]

Can't Stop Looking

It's like driving past a car wreck- can't help but look. This thing is such a disaster I keep coming back to look at it.

 

[MattG]

I'm not a violent person, but anyone who buys one of these should be shot on site.

 

[E.Lizardo]

The subtle racism and smug willful ignorance of pop culture in these threads is both uncomfortable and annoying. I think the product in black is interesting and shows more of the iPhone's impact on design

So subtle only you can see it!
Nothing racist here.You should apologize and stop looking for it where there is none.VERY offensive.
So only people ignorant of pop culture would find this garbage ugly?
I'll stay ignorant and out of the "in"crowd then thank you very much!

 

[kfergiez]

My thoughts exactly. Since I think it's ugly... that means I'm automatically racist.

 

[peb123]

I think Jonnie will pop a cap in his ass.....

 

[The Bogeyman]

Oh wow. That thing looks vile. Really? What was he thinking? Gaudy and tacky. I for one will certainly NOT be wasting my hard-earned money on it!

 

[Jazwire]

Optional spinners?

Nothing racist, plenty of white trash would find it appealing as well.

 

[nagromme]

I’m deeply troubled to live in the same world as this product, and am experimenting with the idea that posting to express that pain to strangers may ease my suffering.

EDIT: It didn’t.

 

[LouieSamman]

Exactly the reason why some people should stay away from tech and let the professional and visionaries take way to what they do best.

Will.i.am has done music for awhile now so stick with it as you know a lot about it. I am not saying people shouldn't expand but if you don't know crap about another field you want to try just because you have the money, just don't do it.

What is with the slide out keyboard? Just added bulk and I find the onscreen keyboard easier to use. Us iPhone users are used to the onscreen keyboard but Will.i.am wants to drive them to using a physical keyboard because he is trying to hit those hipster type people or whatever.

He took a device that Apple has worked hard on with design and thinness and made a case that does not look seamless at all and made it extremely thick.

Also the price is ridiculous.
