The iPhone's 3.5-inch display is, at least to Apple, big enough for normal every day usage. And there's probably hundreds of thousands of folks out there who would agree with that (even if larger screen devices are becomingly increasingly popular), but sometimes you just want to do your photo viewing on something bigger.

There are some out there that would argue that technology has separated us, as it has made it easier for us to talk through our gadgets than face to face.

We understand that you want to show off how awesome your favorite gadget is, but there's got to be a better way.
