Digital Photo Frames seem to be all the rage these days, but their design is far too similar. It was about time somebody put some sort of different twist on the construction.

This is what Kenko did when they created the KDF-07, a digital photo frame that allows the user to hide the remote. When I say “hide the remote”, this has nothing to do with a practical joke or any kind of sexual innuendo.

You see, the KDF-07 has a little pocket that slides out of the seven inch frame to hold the remote, and then retracts when not in use. Considering that most Digital Photo Frames have a superfluous remote that does nothing but get lost, it is about time someone designed something such as this.

Another useful feature of this frame is its ability to read various memory cards including SD cards, MMC cards, Memory stick and CF cards. As for file formats, it supports JPEG, MP3, AVI, and various MPEG formats. The Kendo KDF-07 can also be connected to the PC via USB for photo and music file format transfers.

The Kenko KDF-07 is available in silver, black matte, and wood grain finishes for about $160.

No results.

Big Moving Pictures will be rolling out a fleet of mobile LED screen displays which will be part of a new advertising medium. These displays will definitely put your spanking new 52″ plasma TV in your living room to shame, considering the fact that the ones offered by Big Moving Pictures are extremely massive, towering over ordinary folk at 40′ x 22′. These HDTV LED displays will be attached to trucks, allowing it to engage the audience at major outdoor events in an unprecedented, close-to-home manner. I wonder what the power consumption of such a huge screen would be like - certainly the truck ferrying these HDTVs around will have more than a mere battery?

Big time events will definitely appreciate huge screens such as these, since the noise from an F1 or Indy car is anything but quiet. Thankfully, we still have our visual faculties to help us get a hang of everything around us, and these huge LED displays were specially constructed to be seen at a distance in daylight conditions, enabling it to easily address outdoor audiences of over 100,000 people. The brightest Light-Emitting-Diode (LED) technology available can be found in these mammoth displays, making the MEGASCREENS (as it is known) to be the biggest and most powerful LED-based display solution to date.

Setting it up at an event isn’t as simple as hooking up a few cables like the TV in your licing room though - it will take around an hour to get it up and running right after it arrives onsite. Good news is, this can be done by a single technician or truck driver, doing away with the need for you to employ yet another tech-head to get it going. The image area sizing measures 39.4′ wide and 22′ in height, allowing you and the audience to view the promotional material in a true 16:9 aspect ratio for direct usage of 720P HDTV signals. Other features include an LED element pitch of 15mm and a brightness range up to 10,000NITS. I can’t wait for the first proposal in the world that uses this screen.

Directionally challenged people know who they are. That is why electronic GPS devices are such hot items. They help you to navigate just about anywhere from around your town or across the country.

As you can imagine, it may be hard to get those results from a simple pen and paper. Have you ever started writing down directions and then realized that the paper was too small. The lines of instruction get smaller and smaller and then start circling around the edges. You drive along trying to read the scribbles and give up when you cannot tell which line came first. Hopefully you wrote down the phone number. It is hard for me to imagine that some people prefer low-tech devices. For those few there are low-tech navigation options – the most popular being ordinary paper map or pen and paper. Not too stylish but functional.

However, for those that prefer low-tech with some style thrown in there is an answer.  The Paper GPS notepad fulfills the need for organized and readable directions for as little as $6.50. Each of the 60 sheets allow for 10 turn-by-turn directions with pre-printed arrows and even a box for the distance between each turn. Simply circle the correct directional arrow, write down the street names or landmarks and the distance between each. At the bottom of each sheet there is ample space for jotting down other pertinent information such as a phone number. In case you keep a notebook of directions there is also a spot to notate whether you got lost or not. 

This is just another one of those “Wish I’d though of this” items.
