They may have slipped quietly under most people’s radar, but Sony’s odd little QX lens cameras for smartphones and tablets have received a firmware update that promises to bring some nice new features to the table. The cameras may not be as good as a traditional point-and-shoot solution, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve firmware updates!

Sometimes an accessory pops up that has us all scratching our heads. We’ve no arguments that accessories have their place, taking existing hardware and either enhancing existing features or creating new ones. Accessories are just fine, but sometimes they fall wide off the mark. Sometimes we just can’t quite get our heads around who thought they were a good idea, let alone who actually signed off on making them into a real, shipping product.
