Considering there's a bunch of people referring to themselves as iPhoneographers, it's not much of a surprise that a company has figured out a way to bring all the SLR lenses gathering dust in cupboards back into the game. The very dedicated people at Photojojo have done just that. You'd think it would have been Canon or Nikon, but nope, it was a company that is about as insanely head over heels passionate about photography as you can possibly be without being committed.

The new mount essentially converts everyone's favourite happy snapper into a DSLR housing, allowing the user to mount any lens they want.

There are many photo related apps available, and we found a great list of the better ones on The Next Web. The majority focus on either post production or enhancing your shooting ability. We have yet to find a good one that converts the iPhone to an SLR camera set on Manual. If you have one you recommend let us know.

The rumour-mill is going into overdrive about the next generation of phones from Apple, including upgrades to it's picture taking capabilities. Something like this may seem a bit silly now but it's not hard to foresee a near future where photojournalists are able to shoot, edit, retouch and post images straight off a device that blurs the line between an SLR and a handset.
