A keychain for pictures that drives with you ...

If your wallet is bulging with dozens of pictures of your pets (or kids, whatever you want to call 'em), leaving an impression in your back pocket and an unnatural curve in your spine, you should probably consider Matsunichi's Photoblitz PV110 digital photo keychain. Capable of storing 56 images for display on its 1.1" OLED screen, the unit connects and charges through USB2. Our best idea? Store a picture of your car to help would-be thieves steal your wheels.

Matsunichi's MF228 Football MP3 Player

Ah yes, that most convenient, ergonomic, and yet elusive of all MP3 player shapes: the soccer ball. Preceded by the Shiro AS, Matsunichi's new MF228 Football MP3 Player has managed to land a bit nearer the World Cup, but still we're not quite sure we're going to put up with the pocket bulge for six whole weeks. That said, the player features a 80 x 48 pixel display, supports MP3, WMA and WAV files, has FM and voice recording, 10 hours of battery life off of a built-in rechargeable battery, and an epic 256MB or 512MB memory capacity. The player also outsizes the 37.4mm diameter Shiro AS at 45.2mm. Reportedly, the MF228 is due "worldwide" on May 1st, and if that means us soccer-phobic Americans then more power to it.
