Blackberry Owners Have More Klout than iPhone or Android
Klout, the social influence measuring service, just released some new data on how phone preference correlates with influence: Blackberry users score highest, with an average Klout score of 43.6. Klout users with iPhones score an average of 42, and Android owners come in last at 40.6. The scores rank between 1 and 100 and are calculated based on social networking interactions like replies and retweets. Gizmodo theorizes that RIM devotees are more influential because Blackberry owners tend to be “corporate executives, often C-level types” and thus engage in more professional online chatter.

The iCam Replaces Standard Camera Tech with an iPhone
The iCam, a concept camera designed by Zeki Ozek, doesn’t require cables or data cards or any other supplementary tech. Because the iCam connects directly to your iPhone via a 30 pin connector. The iPhone slides neatly into the back of the camera, and the front of the camera is designed with a standard lens mount that allows the user to switch between real lenses while also using optical zoom and saving photos directly to your phone. One practical application of this is that any photos you take can be set up with the iCam app edited with whatever other apps you’ve downloaded. [Rexplore]
