YAPIVCK: Yet Another Portable iPhone Video Conference Kit

When I’ve heard that Apple sales a hand mirror as a Video Conference Kit I thought: That’s a joke.

I’m pretty sure that I’m not the first one having this idea, but why the hell nobody does it?!

There is another alternative I found on YouTube, but I consider it not so “mobile” and a little bit bulky:

Feel free to comment on this topic.

In other news… Since a while, there is a Windshield Wiper available for iPhone.

It keeps your screen clean and it’s fully patented.
