SLEEK SILVER VERSION: One of the hot gifts this year is a digital photo keychain. Either pre-load photos for friends or family, or let them load their own; either way it's a fun little digital brag book! Now don't expect miracles with its 1.5" LCD screen which has a screen resolution of 128 x 128 pixels, but for a gift, this is great. This SILVER FRAME VERSION of the Digital Foci Pocket Album holds as many as 74 pictures (depending on size, in JPEG or BMP format) with its 8MB of Internal memory. It has a battery life of 9 hours, rechargeable via USB or USB-AC power adapter. You can set it to scroll photos manually or run an automatic photo slideshow. Comes with Windows 2000-and-up compatible Photo Viewer Software. Pocket Album measures 2.2" x 1.6" x 0.5" and weighs only 1.2 oz.

RECOMMENDATION: I highly recommend buying PDA (Palm pilot) plastic screen protectors and cutting down to size to cover this LCD display to protect from scratches. Alternatively you could use clear packaging tape, but the screen protectors are inexpensive and peel off easily to be replaced. These protectors are also great for digital phones, cameras and other small electronics with LCD screens that can be scratched but need to be seen.

Now mom can show you off at any time - minus the bulky wallet foldout.

When I was growing up, my mom used to have a keychain that had pictures of me and my sisters on it. I love that with these newfangled technologies she can once more carry my face around to remember what I look like.
