December 11, 2007 Offering convenience and versatility well beyond the capability of your stock-standard photo frame, digital photo displays are growing rapidly in popularity and functionality. Taking a step beyond the desk-bound or wall-mounted versions, even the humble keychain has now been digitized with products like the "Pocket Album", a portable digital keychain photo viewer with a 1.5-inch color LCD screen.
Providing a great alternative to carrying photos of loved ones in a standard keychain, wallet or purse, the Pocket Album packs 8MB of internal memory into its tiny (2.2" x 1.6" x 0.5") footprint. The Digital Foci device can carry up to 74 photos at a time and images can be viewed either by an automatic slideshow with adjustable time intervals or by scrolling manually. The rechargeable battery offers nine hours of use and the device weighs in at just 1.2oz.
Retailing for USD$39.95, the Pocket Album comes complete with photo viewer software for converting your photos from your PC to the device. The software crops and rotates photos before automatically resizing them for optimal storage and display. Available in black, silver and blue, it is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS.
Digital Foci is also the maker of the Image Moments customizable digital photo frame that allows the user to customize their framing with interchangeable frames, wall-mounting, and landscape/portrait positioning.
