Normally, prompters are used in television studios to guide people appearing on television on what they are scripted to say. But now, it seems that concept has gone as far as becoming an iPhone feature to help people gain confidence and appear to know that they really know what they are talking about.

Bodelin ProPrompter ProMag magnifies text you’ve entered into the iPhone, and then using a one-way mirror, places it directly in front of a camcorder lens, smoothly scrolling by at your choice of seven speeds that can be changed on the fly.

These two ProPrompters include the iPhone software, and a special bracket that places either your iPhone/Pocket PC/iPod touch or a 7″ VGA flat panel alongside your camcorder. These aren’t nearly as good, because you won’t be looking right into the camera, which is always noticeable unless you’re far away from the lens.

The bracket with the iPhone software is $99, the kit with the 7-inch display and iPhone software is $395. All these prices are specials for the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention in Las Vegas; ships April 20th.
