Kodak’s new frame is Battery-powered
Today must be Kodak day, because I just covered the whole death of Kodachrome film. It must also be digital picture frame week, because I just covered one from Viewsonic yesterday.
I’m sure the Kodak Easyshare S730 is not the first digital picture frame that runs on batteries, but battery power should be a standard feature for most electric frames. As it is, most digital picture frames are a slave to their own cord, which makes it really inconvenient when hanging them on the wall. Of course, the rechargeable battery on the S730 is only good one hour away from the outlet.

SmartFish Pro Motion Game Controller
Usually gaming accessories are more worried about being the best design in order to get it so that you can play the game as best you can. However, this controller from SmartFish has a different goal in mind, while still trying to keep the controller as normal as possible. It is more worried about ergonomics and the health of your hands and wrists. Which is good, since some gamers spend a great deal of time on their console and would be mortified if they had to give up their beloved games over something like carpal tunnel. (more…)
The USB 2-in-1 Web Cam with built-in USB drive
Although this isn’t the most aesthetically appealing webcam I’ve ever seen, at least they were kind enough to combine it with another gadget. It’s actually the absolutely most plain webcam I’ve seen around. It’s just a plain black bar that can swivel around to get the optimal angle.
It also tosses in a small flash drive, so it doesn’t do just one thing. It’s not a combination I can think of a single reason why I’d need it, but it’s probably just one of those things that some people need for very random reasons. (more…)
Disney Pix Jr. Digital Camera for kids
The Disney Pix Jr. Digital Camera makes a good introductory camera for the youngest photographers. Tough and sturdy, this kid-friendly digital camera comes with picture buttons for easy use by non-readers and the option of including Disney characters in each photograph.
This Disney digital camera for kids is encased in a rubber shell that both protects the delicate machinery inside and bulges out on either side to make it easy for small hands to grip the camera and hold it steady during picture-taking. The large camera buttons, also, are designed for tiny fingers, and each is clearly labeled with a different icon.
