From camera grips to video projectors, the iPhone gadget gates have opened to release a number of new products to hungry iFans
|

On its own, the iPhone is already so much more than a communication device, but with a slew of new add-ons hitting the market, the supercomputer-for-your-pocket can deliver even more:

Zgrip iPhone Pro
: Anyone who's tried to shoot video with an iPhone knows that any attempt to keep a steady hand on the little guy usually brings on the shakes. While a little quiver never hurt a candid, off-the-cuff karaoke blackmail vid, more serious videographers may appreciate this stabilizing tool. The iPhone 3Gs snaps into a cradle, which in turn snaps into an adjustable, quick release handgrip system, allowing more professional directors to show off their auteur visions. A cheaper "consumer" version is reportedly coming soon, so even if you know you're not the next Scorsese, you'll still be able to capture footage without anyone asking if there was an earthquake going on.

MiLi Pro
: You'll soon be able to host a guerilla movie screening on the fly with this seemingly ingenious gadget. Scheduled to hit the market this September, the mobile movie theatre device is an LED micro video projector, powered by a MiLi Battery Pack, which attaches directly to the iPhone. The high res display measures 640x480, meaning it's not necessarily comparable to a drive-in, but we think it could make for a pretty memorable backyard gathering. While it has built-in speakers, we're guessing you'd probably want to add an additional set for an ultimate surround sound cinematic experience.

The Quattro
: The iPhone's camera capabilities rule for snapshots, but beyond documenting random party moments, the lens doesn't exactly make for print-worthy photos. We can't read Japanese, so we can't tell you every detail of this device, but according to Boy Kings, this contraption snaps onto your phone to allow you to switch lenses for the camera. Hardcore shutterbugs will likely continue to just use a real camera, but if you already have an iPhone and want to up the quality of your work, a new lens is certainly cheaper than a digital SLR.
