Steady your camera phone
Sony Ericsson IPK-100
(Credit: Sony Ericsson)Even at CTIA, where hundreds of new cell phone accessories line the show floor, I love this little camera phone tripod from Sony Ericsson. The Camera Phone Kit (IPK-100) is so simple yet ever so useful, because even when you use a high-quality camera phone such as the Sony Ericsson K790a it can be so darn hard to hold the phone steady and get the best shots.
Just attach it to your Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone, then bend the flexible legs for the best position, and it will hold the handset steady for getting better shots or for using your shooter's self-timer. On the downside, it works only with the company's Cyber-shot models--typical Sony--but it's still pretty cool.
