If you're the sort who laughs at those
DSLR-lugging amateurs, deriding their attempts to stay current as the megapixel wars rage on, this may be the digital photo frame for you. It's called the DF24B from
Kairen, and is the perfect way to show off those crummy, pixelated shots accumulating on your flip-phone with its vertically-oriented (like most mobile pics) 2.4-inch, 320 x 240 LCD and 2MB of internal storage. Yes, that's
megabytes, enough to store 27 thoroughly compressed images according to the manufacturer. Why it has any storage at all is a bit of a mystery, though, since the thing requires a USB connection for power, meaning it might as well just suck those photos straight from your hard drive (unless you're rocking a dedicated
USB charger). No formal price has been set, but it's expected to release this month for around ¥6,800, or about $75. That puts it about $5 shy of
MIMO's 7-inch mini-display, which is a much smarter buy -- unless you're afraid to blow those pics up any larger.

This looks very much like the top of an old Nokia flip phone added to a small paint roller...
Wouldn't a 2nd hand Nokia be alot cheaper too?
...somone should be fired for thinking this would make anyone any money...every.
I really don't know why this made it to your feed. It's obviously junk. Come on Engadget. I actually had to tab over to my feeds to be disappointed by this post ;-P
I want it man. It looks cool. I hope if we can get customized colors? If yes then cool!

Wow paint roller kickstand ftw. Or toilet paper roll, your choice.
Looks like an mp3 player on a wheelchair
At least the FUJI LABS F3270 1.5" 128 × 128 Digital Frame comes with a Clock & Calendar
Um... I got one of these last year as a company christmas gift.
This item will show a clock or pictures. Has a battery that gets drained in one day just showing the clock. Shows pictures in order with no random option. I ended up using a spare usb-mini usb cable to hook it up to my computer, but every time I turn on my computer, I have to tell it whether I want to transfer pictures or just use the usb to 'charge'. Also, if I just want to use it as a clock, I have to change the time every time I start up the computer or keep changing batteries. So, usually it just stays on the startup screen. Useless.
I still wish someone would come out with one that looked like the old Polaroid film. As in: http://tinyurl.com/2jglhg
They could be this size, 128meg of internal memory, and run on a 9v or a couple of AAs. I'd buy a few to hang around.
Yawn!
If I had my way I would have the factory burnt to the ground.
what happened to Crapgdaget? this should be on that list.
I got one of these free from a trade show a couple years ago, not this exact model but the only thing different is the buttons are on the side instead of below the screen. The picture quality is horrendous. I'd rather look at ASCII art on a gameboy. Mine can also show the time/temp, that's all it's ever been used for.
There's absolutely nothing interesting about this device. This is some sort of a insult to the readers. Engadget - FAIL.
You mean by "release", that they are actually just going to be reslling in a different market?
We have had these things at work for nearly a year already..

That is the most useless gadget I've seen in a long time! Crapgadget!
