Strobes for phone cams
We've pretty much given up on trying to get take decent pics with a cameraphone, especially since hardly any of them sport a flash, and when they do, it's some anemic LED that can barely cast a shadow. Hopefully helping our plight, Linear Technology has developed a photoflash capacitor system that can recharge a small xenon flash in under a second, which is good because xenon bulbs are hundreds of times brighter than those little LED lights your phone has currently. They're also much closer to natural light, meaning your pics will turn out better. Linear hopes to see its system in cameraphones within 3 to 12 months, until then, continue on with outdoor, sunny-day cameraphone photography only.
