Looking for something more portable than the high-tech digital picture frames currently available? Pictures are important to alot people. I mean, sure you can store all of your photos in your wallet, but overtime they get wrinkled and worn out. Plus, what if you have tons of family pictures? You don’t want your wallet fat full of photos.
Here’s the Digital Photoframe Keyring from I Want One of Those. Just like the Philips Keychain Camera, the Digital Photoframe is super duper compact and fits on your keyring. It comes with 8MB of internal memory, enough to store up to 31 photos. It supports two playback modes: manual shuffling and automatic slide. The Photoframe is rechargeable via USB. Photos are easily transferred using the user-friendly software (Windows and Mac).
The Digital Photoframe Keyring cost £44.95 ($92). Pretty expensive for a 1.5-inch, 8MB digital picture frame, regardless of its ultra compactness.

Like always, here’s another gadget that won’t be hitting this side of the pond. From Finedrive comes the CUVi, one of the smallest navigational and DMB device I have ever seen.

Estimated battery life is 2 hours.
Starting price tag is 299,999 Won ($300 USD)

Don’t you just hate it when some moron cuts you off on the road? Well, now you can let them know you much of a jackass they are with the Drivemocion LED Car Message. Simply hang the gadget off of your car’s rear window and send them messages. The Drivemocion sports an LCD screen that can display 5 included ‘default’ messages: “Thanks”, “Back Off”, “Sorry”, happy face, or sad face. The device also comes with a remote that can be mounted on the dashboard for easy “messaging”. I’m not sure if this can be seen through tinted windows, but the product page states that it is “extremely visible” at night.
Too bad you can’t program this thing to output your own custom messages. However, it’s only a matter time before someone hacks this thing…
The Drivemocion LED Car Message costs $28.95 at X-Treme Geek.

A rather creepy look at Mario if he was rendered realistically. I’m afraid to see what Princess Peach would look like…

The Bonsai Gear Clock resembles the miniature Japanese tree. However, unlike the real thing, the Bonsai Gear Clock doesn’t require any maintenance — no pruning, no watering. Made of plastic steel gears and a wooden base, the Clock is powered by two 1.5V D-sized batteries. The gears slowly move as the seconds tick by.
The Bonsai Gear Clock costs 9,975 Yen ($100 USD) at Visions Coax.
