Remember the Quirky Beamer iPhone case review I posted earlier this week that has a built in LED flash? Here’s a better option in my opinion. It’s the SparkPLug Plug-in LED flash for the iPhone.

The iPhone 3G / 3GS built in camera does a pretty decent job taking pictures. I especially like the macro capability. There’s one feature missing from the camera that we’re seeing added more and more to mobile phone cameras. An LED flash. Sure, you can upgrade to the new iPhone 4 which does have one.

I knew the iPad would make a perfect device for eBook reading, newspaper reading, web surfing and game playing.

It’s not going to replace my Canon G11 anytime soon, but I think the iPhone 3GS’s built in camera does a pretty good job for quick snapshots. When I say pretty good, I’m talking image quality and not camera features. Let’s face it, the only features of the camera app are the shutter and video toggle buttons.
