Infrared Smart Phone

Smart phones can browse the web and carry thousands of songs but what has always been missing is the ability to take a thermal image of your roof.

Well, wait no more. Popular Mechanics reports that a new attachment by FLIR Systems can do just that.

The FLIR ONE  cost just $350 and attaches to an iPhone or Android, according to PM.

Why would anyone need to thermal image something? PM points out that they can not only find poorly insulated parts of a home but hidden wasp nests, tire leaks, and take body temperature at a distance.

Also they are great for bird watching, PM says.
