Folks behind the popular camera application for the jailbroken iPhones, Snapture, have unveiled their latest idea. The so called SnaptureFlash is a light (thanks to its durable Poloy Carbon casing) Xenon flash attachment for the iPhone which, as you can imagine, can sing along their camera app. In addition, it’s red-eye reduction capable and will also amplify iPhone’s way-too-quite speakers

From the email we got:

What’s the point of having a cameraphone when you can only shoot in perfect lighting? SnaptureFlash’s powerful xenon flash now allows the iPhone to shoot perfect pictures even in pitch black environment. Our patent-pending xenon attachment is easily 100x brighter than the conventional LED solution, which is why no other products even come close to our results.

The bad thing, though, is that SnaptureFlash is still in the prototype phase, meaning you can’t order it right now. Still, you may want to watch their website and grab it as soon as you can. It’s on my radar, definitely!
