Not even a week after rolling out a
trio of new digital photo frames, Digital Foci is hitting back with a duo of new ones -- 'cept, these won't exactly do much good on your countertop. Rather, the 1.5- and 2.8-inch OLED Pocket Albums feel much more at home in your pocket / purse, and the former even comes with a keychain attachment. The 1.5-incher sports a 128 x 128 resolution display, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and 32MB of internal memory, while the 2.8-inch iteration (shown after the jump) packs a 320 x 240 resolution screen, 10,000:1 contrast ratio and a currently undisclosed amount of storage. As expected, the pair runs on a rechargeable battery and can be juiced up via an AC outlet or a spare USB port. If you're overwhelmed by the cuteness, fret not -- you've got until April to convince yourself that they aren't worth the $49.95 / $99.95 asking prices.

Don't really see the point, you can look at your pictures using your phone

Im not sure, but are digitial picture frames even selling well? I havent seen anyone with the keychain ones or the desk ones. Im sure they make excellent gifts, but I dont see myself buying one anytime soon.

just before xmas here in canada you could pick up a digital keychain pic frame like that for 6.95-14.95 at just about any electronics store. I think it was the source that had tons for $7.
no one wants em. my cell has a screen, my ipod touch has a screen. why do i need an even smaller one? just extra junk in my pockets.

I can't imagine leaving a $50 lcd screen on my KEYCHAIN. I have a 512 MB flashdrive on my carkeys which cost me $10 so losing it wouldn't be "terrible". When the price of these things is around $20 (and the tech is better), I'll get one.
I do however, want one of the 8" digital photo frames now that they are around $100.

If these things were $15 or less I bet they would be a very big seller. I agree with flashpoint, no one wants to lose a $50+ keychain.
Make it a keychain that not only displays photos, but is also a flashdrive & mp3 player all in one and maybe I'd drop $50.
maybe...

see above comment. even at $15 they're not big sellers. becuase they're still silly and useless.

I think the idea of having to recharge your keychain is absurd.

dont you hate when people pull out huge albums and make you look at all the pics? well now they could do it with their nifty keychain... the horror..
