Want an optical zoom on your camera phone? Not a problem – you can do that with an external telescope, which you can buy for about 30 bucks from Brando. Sure, some of these could cause vignetting on the image, but you’ll still be able to zoom and that’s the idea here.
There are quite a few phones that are supported (there’s a telescope specially tailored for each of the handsets mentioned bellow):
- Apple iPhone and iPhone 3G
- HTC Touch
- HTC Touch Cruise
- HTC Touch Diamond
- HTC Touch Pro
- Nokia 6300
- Nokia N82
- Nokia N95 and N95 8GB
- Nokia N96
- Samsung i900 Omnia
- Sony Ericsson K850
- Sony Ericsson P990
- Sony Ericsson P1i
- Sony Ericsson W910
In addition, there’s also a generic mobile phone telescope that could be used with just about any other mobile phone.
Aside from the telescope itself, with every purchase you also get a handy strap and a crystal case with adapter.
Check out the complete list of all mobile telescope accessories available from Brando’s website.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
