GREEN HOUSE's GH-ML8 Series has a new addition in the form of a 8x telescope lens that targets cell phone owners. Retailing for approximately $90 each, the GH-ML8 feature 18mm, F1.1 8x optical telescope lenses that was specially developed for cell phones. It comes with an adjustable lens holder that clamps over most phone models, placing the lightweight 38-gram, 6 cm-long zoom lens over the phone's camera lens. A mini tripod adds to the overall stability, and it sure as heck looks like a 'real' camera setup. I would rule out VGA as well as 1.3 megapixel cameras from using this as they can't really capture that much detail, leaving a decent result to a 2 megapixel camera phone at worst.
