Digital Shot

Oh yeah, we’ve seen multi-purpose digiframes before, but Mustek’s latest manages to handle five whole tasks only marginally well. You heard right — this minuscule device packs a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 panel for showing wallet-sized digital images along with an alarm clock, FM radio, built-in MP3 player and a thermometer. You’ll also find an MMC / SD expansion slot for loading up those precious memories, a USB 2.0 connector and a pair of skull-crushing one-watt speakers to boot. No price is listed, but judging by the design alone, we’d say that’s probably for the best.
