!!!X-Ray Camera Phone!!!

A developer in Tokyo has created an add-on for Vodafone handsets that's meant to be used as a night filter to let people take pictures with their phones in the dark.
Unfortunately, the night vision camera has an unexpected side effect, according to Japanese developer Yamada Denshi. In the right circumstances, it allows users to see a lot more than they bargained for.
As well as taking snaps in the dark, the Yamada Denshi infrared filter apparently sees through people's clothes.
The problem arises because the filter uses the distribution of heat to create its pictures. When attached to a high-end camera, the filter can see though certain kinds of clothing and is reportedly particularly effective on dark bikinis.
The handset most often used with the filter--the V602-SH--is only available in Japan.
A Vodafone spokeswoman confirmed that the Peeping Tom accessory isn't a problem outside of Japan. She added that because Yamada Denshi is a third-party supplier, Vodafone's control is limited. "They are not an approved third party," she said.
"We would never go to market with a phone with any kind of capacity to see people naked," she said.
Camera phones have long prompted fears of voyeurism, leading several gyms to ban them to prevent people from using them to take inappropriate pictures.
Voyeurism with camera phones became such a problem in South Korea that the government ruled that phones must make a noise when pictures are taken.
It will retail for 140 Euro apparently but you wont be able to get it here for a while so all you peeping Toms out there - Stop drooling
Check out the attached Photo for a sample picture of what this litle device can do.0
