Ah, yet another tiny digital photo frame… I still think that an one inch frame is pretty much useless, because the photo size is too small.

However, the Sweet Heart Digital Photo Frame says it’s aimed at girls… so, this time, it works. Small, pink and heart shaped = perfect for a pre-teen/teen. I don’t like this idea that women will automatically like something if it’s pink, but, at 14… I wanted all the pinkness I could get. Ah, my shameful past… (Actually, pink is a very nice color, as long as it’s not shoved down my throat with an assortment of Swarovski crystals.)

Bottom line: a teen probably won’t care much about the screen size, the frame looks nice as a keychain/bag charm and it’s not very expensive. Probably makes a nice gift for your niece’s birthday if you don’t have a better idea.

Nope, I still don’t understand why digital photo frames are interesting. But oh well, can’t have it all.

The USB Tumbler Digital Photo Frame at least has a cute shape. Unfortunately, that’s the only thing I like. It’s a miniature frame, aimed at people who don’t want to drag a full-size one with them. But what can you actually see on a screen that’s 56 x 56 x 85 mm (about 2 inches by 3)? It can store up to 100 pictures, but they’d all have to be close-ups, otherwise all you’d be able to see would be some colorful blotches (that green dot is auntie May!).

If you really want to share photos with family and friends while traveling, put them on a memory stick and look at them on a computer. Or don’t be lazy and bring your normal sized photo frame.

I’m still not convinced by the digital photo frames. Then again, I never saw the point of having a normal framed picture on my table, so I’m not the best person to judge them.

The Pocket Album is probably the smallest digital photo frame yet, which makes me love it and hate it at the same time. I love miniature objects. They fascinate me (even though most don’t actually do anything). On the other hand, you are supposed to look at pictures on this, and the 1.5″ screen sounds awfully small to me. Group photos? A bunch of colored blobs. Scenery? Blue and green something. Portraits, yes.

If you want a digital alternative to carrying your girlfriend’s photograph in your wallet, you can go for it. For one, it can hold up to 74 pictures, much more that your wallet could ever carry. And the 9 hours battery life should be enough, assuming you don’t feel the need to stare at her picture all day.
