Interesting that they aren't using the built-in iPhone camera for the visual spectrum part, but are still using their own. (FLIR uses a visual spectrum camera to do edge detection, and then overlays that on the IR image to make it easier to see what is going on.)
This way the visible and IR cameras are right next to each other.

#52I took of pic of one in action last night: http://imgur.com/vT4vl2o Seemed pretty responsive. Good enough to capture the residual temperature from someone touching a table. Not pro level stuff obviously but worth exploring for basic thermal imaging applications it seemed to me.

Looks like the thermal imaging resolution was about 30x45 pixels, based on some quick measurement in Photoshop. However, it's interesting to see how much higher the apparent resolution is thanks to the overlaid edges from the visual camera.

Good enough for seeing what PIN was typed on the atm machine?

Says "under $350" http://www.flir.com/flirone/press/assets/Discover/FLIR%20ONE...
The i7, one of the lower priced units is around $2k, so if it can do the same thing (appears to be the same resolution) it is a win.

#59I'm reluctant to buy something like this that'll become useless the moment I decide to change/upgrade phones.
On the other hand, if this really catches on, and the sensor technology cheapens, in a decade or two we may start to see generic webcam-like thermal cameras from China showing up in the $10 range... which would be rather fun.
