Ever heard of a magnifying glass? With a poor-quality plastic or pinhole lens and a low-resolution imager the size of a thumbtack, plus a screen the size of a postage stamp, most camera phones are hardly going to help you read something you couldn't read with your own eyes.

yeah works better than zooming in with a computer

never thought about that, but it actually works very well!

I don't have bad eyes myself... but... it does work I know.

I do not have a camera phone , but I've been told than you can use your camera phone with zoom to magnify small print labels and other hard to see stuff. Has anybody tried it ?
