An iPhone camera lens and lens coffee mug
The people at PhotoJoJo.com have some very cool gifts for the photo enthusiast. One new product is a two lens bundle for the iPhone camera that includes a fisheye, macro and wide angle. Or how about a Diana lens that converts your $2000+ SLR into a toy camera? One of my favorites is the camera lens mug – a great gift. This is a cool site.

Unified Contacts List
In OS4 the new Contacts app unifies these contacts so that the names on the ‘All Contacts‘ page appear only once. These listings unify contact names from your iPhone address book, MobileMe account and your corporate exchange server so that you may access all information about your contact from a single page. To access any particular contact card, you simply have to scroll down to the bottom of the contacts page and tap on the Linked Cards section.
Since this is automated, the listing is prone to errors. If you think listings are were wrongly linked. Additionally, users may also insert new contacts to a unified card by tapping on Edit -> Link Contact and choosing a contact name to link. This is especially useful if you want to group a list of users under one head.

You can follow these instructions to install Frash on your iPhone:
