2011 is calling, it wants its camera back. Clamshot brings back the camera from your dual-screen console. Real 640x480 photos with all the noise of a tiny 2011 camera, and every photo comes with that "pi... ka-shak" sound. And on Apple's brand new iPhone Duo, it even folds just like the original console. Open it halfway for the viewfinder on top and the buttons on the bottom, or close it to shoot from the outside screen.

Yes The core is a camera app that applies retro image effects (low resolution, noise, sound) and a stylized 3D presentation. These are achievable with standard image processing and WebGL or native graphics libraries.
