Handyscope, the $1500 Cancer-Checking iPhone Accessory

If you consider yourself a hypochondriac and subscribe to the "my iPhone can do ANYTHING" set, you may want to consider turning your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 into a digital dermatoscope. The Handyscope by FotoFinder uses hardware and an app to magnify your blemish scares up to 20 times (ew). Simply tag the images with your name and locale, and submit them via e-mail for diagnosis.

Smartphone case with a built-in camera lens attachment.

Not quite as widely useful as the iPhone STD checker (coming soon?), but for a true hypochondriac, it just might pay for itself in costly doctors' visits over time. The device is currently on sale for €1,166 ($1,582), with the necessary accompanying app priced at $11.99.
