Musician Will.i.am Wants to Upgrade Your iPhone to 14 Megapixel Camera

Tech entrepreneur and music performer Will.i.am (of The Black Eyed Peas) will launch his iPhone hardware this week, which he claims “will turn your smartphone into a genius-phone.”
“The first product from his new consumer electronics and app venture i.am+ is an accessory that clips onto an iPhone and transforms the eight megapixel smartphone camera into a 14 megapixel camera, which it is claimed dramatically enhances the clarity and definition of your photographs,” reports The Telegraph.
Users who dock their iPhone into the device will have access to a dedicated sensor and improved flash. Additional details and pricing are expected to be offered during a November 28 press conference in London.
Those using the i.am+ camera will be encouraged to share their pictures on their own profile page at the www.i.am domain.
“Apple has granted i.am+ a development license to produce and sell the camera accessory and camera app for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, but Will.i.am says that a larger range of tech hardware will follow,” notes the article.
Will.i.am has a reputation for technology. The musician transmitted into the CNN newsroom as a hologram to discuss the 2008 presidential election; this summer, one of his songs was beamed back from Mars via NASA’s Curiosity Rover; and last year he was signed by Intel as its director of creative innovation.
