Give your mobile phone legs

Slippery fingers and slim camera phones does not a good photo make. If you are one of those lucky ones who owns a Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot cellular, you're in luck.

Spotted at CTIA by our US counterparts, the Camera Phone Kit IPK-100 is a tripod made exclusively for Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot mobiles. There are currently two Cyber-shot branded phones in the market, the K800i and K790i, with the K550i and K810i in the pipeline. Held in place using the phone connector, the flexible legs and friction feet keep the mobile steady. Considering the rather weak image quality of photos taken by camera phones at night, this accessory will be a boon for shutterbugs who enjoy phototaking under low-light conditions. It weighs in at a mere 49g and comes with a protective case and belt clip for easy carry.

IPK-100 will be launched in most Asia-Pacific countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, etc) around mi d May. The pricing details are currently unavailable.
