This little hunk of metal is supposedly some sort of pocketable tri-pod for your camera. It has the little screw thingy that screws into the base of your camera and it seems somewhat height adjustable, but if its as small as it looks, I don’t know how useful it is.
The latest digital photo frame from Mustek is to be shown off at PMA this year, but here are the details now. It has a 9.5-inch screen and part of the bezel surrounding it is actually a flat panel speaker being driven by NXT flat-panel speaker technology.
The first, and apparently the largest is the 800 millimeter lens with a f-stop of 5.6. Its not coming until May, but when it does, it will cost more than some new cars.
This camera straps on your wrist, and can take a hell of a beating from there. It will work for up to 30 meters under water and is also shock proof. It can take up to 3MP stills and can do 54 minutes of video (I’d guess in VGA resolution, maybe a little better).
The new 15” photo frame from Jobo may not has the large LCD display or resolution to compete with the Chinese. But the German throw in a healthy 1GB of internal memory that’s good up to 4,000 of images storage. The stylish PDJ151 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, 1024×768 pixel resolutions with contras ratio of 400:1. The frame uses a clear acrylic with clear glass resemblance and it’s removable. It support Jpeg and BMP image file with media interfaces for CF, SD, MMC, MS, MS Pro and xD. JOBO will showcase this at PMA 2008 and it’s available now at $359.

Really it has a diagonal measurement of 15.6-inches, but they chose to call it 15”. It has a 1366×768 resolution which gives you a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Its name might be a vaguely cheesy pun on ‘facsimile’, but if you’re running an online store the Photosimile 5000 desktop photography studio might save you hours each month. Basically a turntable inside a 28-inch cube illuminated by 6,500K daylight bulbs, together with a Canon digital camera, the whole thing is computer controlled to take perfectly lit, instantly repeatable shots of objects.
Billed as the world’s first touchscreen WiFi-enabled digital photo frames, Shogo has launched two battery-powered models that are supposedly so straightforward to use that a tech-shy grandparent could figure them out. Differentiated by the amount of onboard memory – a rather measly 1GB or 512MB, although they say that’s enough for up to 25,000 photos at 800 x 600 – both have an 8-inch screen, integrated SD/MS/MMC/xD/SDHC memory card reader, stereo audio, ethernet, USB and WiFi b/g.
After the bizarrely huge 32-inch digital photo frame Smartparts announced at CES 2008, this SP8PRT could almost be overlooked being a mere 8-inch panel. However, hidden inside the frame is the display’s secret weapon: a printer, that can produce copies of images stored on the device for people to take away with them.
If you think the PhotoVu PV2265w 22” Digital Picture Frame is big, wait until you see the whooping 32” model SP3200 from Smartparts. Like PhotoVu, the Smartparts’s digital photo frame uses a widescreen LCD panel. Unlike PhotoVu, it’s not wireless and has a lower resolution of 1366×768 (16:9) compare to 1680×1050 (16:10). Overall, it’s 10” in dialog bigger and $400 cheaper with less features. Smartparts will be presenting the Sp3200 at CES 2008 and looks forward to see it on the street with a price tag of $899 coming this February.
