New parents are going to love the Soban digital photo album as the new method of slow torture for friends and family. This super small photo viewer connects to a computer via USB and has the ability to store 7,000 photos on the 128-MB drive. The battery lasts eight hours, which should be just enough time to get through all those photos of Junior.

The Soban is small enough to fit on a keychain and is designed to look like a flip book, but 7,000 photos in an itty-bitty space? I'll believe it when I see it. On second thought, if I see someone opening one of these things, I might just run the other direction. — Stephen Schleicher
