Black Eyed Peas front-man Will.i.am has released an iPhone camera accessory in London just in time for the holidays.

The i.am+foto.sosho was designed as a fashion accessory that turns a regular iPhone into a retro-looking camera.

Accompanying the actual hardware, the i.am+foto.sosho will come with an iTunes app that turns the camera into a social experience, making it easy to upload and share photos with friends.

The new accessory hit the market on December 6th at the price of $315 for the “Modern Look” white C.4 model and $415 for the “Vintage Look” black V.4 model.

Both models will include standard, fish-eye, wide and zoom lenses, as well as the iTunes app and a slide out keyboard.

While the current versions are for the iPhone 4, Will.i.am reported at the London launch that the iPhone 5 models will be available early next year.

Businessman Karl Kado, who held contracts at Detroit's convention center, said Monday, Dec. 3, 2012 that he was a “hostage” who felt compelled to pay thousands of dollars to then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his father or lose work. Kado told jurors that he personally delivered $5,000 to $10,000 to Kilpatrick “three or four times.” He said he also delivered money through a top mayoral aide and separately paid $200,000 to $300,000 to Kilpatrick's father, Bernard. Kado is a crucial witness at the corruption trial, which began in September. (AP Photo/The Detroit News, David Coates)
