ION, the company that makes the popular arcade gaming peripherals for iPhone and iPad, has developed a cool gadget called iPics2Go that will let your iPhone 4/4S digitize paper photos, 35mm negatives and slides (via Gizmodo). iPics2Go is basically a box shaped device that includes the necessary lighting to make the whole thing work, as well as a 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 photo holder, 35mm slide & negative tray and batteries. The product is available for US $63 (£39.99) at this website.

Below is the official product description:

Thanks to the iPICS2GO Negative to iPhone Scanner you can save all of your photographs, slides and negatives straight to your mobile – then edit, save, and share them in an instant!

Just plug your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S into the top, fire up the powerful editing app and feed a photo, slide or negative into the PICS2GO. With the app’s easy-to-use controls you can scan your pics in seconds, and save them as a digital file that’ll last forever. Or at least until the next technological revolution.

Battery-powered and designed purely for the iPhone 4 and 4S, the iPICS2GO is a handy little gadget that you can use anywhere in the house. Scan your family album while you’re watching the telly; or take it round your Nan’s house and go through her black and white snaps.

Think of the 100’s of hours you’ll have to spend converting your photo albums! Total waste of time and money!

definitely, there have been a few kickstarters similar to this (forget the names), but all it does is position your iphone to easily take a picture of a physical photo. those were going for like $10-$15, which is a more reasonable price range for that…
