GreenBlub has launched two camera phone accessories: The Color Flash Cube external LED flash (see below) and the Self Shot Mirror that is designed to facilitate taking self portraits, according to an article in PopPhoto.com.
It attaches to the camera with two-sided tape.
The flash comes with three colored filters, red, blue and green, and a strap. It retails for $12.99.
Funky
Shining an external light source in a dark area (ever use a small flashlight?) often will mean the difference between getting no image and getting a good-enough image. Perhaps the Cube would make a difference.
I wonder how it well it works with a camera phone that has a flash (that's typically pretty poor). I guess it could supplement the flash.
The GreenBlub Web site says "no further editing is requireded for funky looking snapshots." The funky part is when you use the filters to color the shots.
However, it's one more thing to lose.
Mirror
The Self Shot Mirror is convex and attaches with tape to the side of a camera lens so it's easier to see yourself when taking self portraits. Three mirrors are sold in a package for $3.45.
I've never liked using tiny self-portrait mirrors attached to camera phones so maybe the larger GreenBlub mirror helps. A camera phone with a second external screen, though, is what you'd really want if you're into taking photos of yourself (and making video calls).
