Does Coby's DP-5588 Photo Frame Clock make a good gift? Well, it looks pretty cool, I guess, and supposedly it won some kind of design innovations award from the nice CES people. Still, the 480 x 234-pixel screen isn't going to win any contests, and a frame is kind of an odd choice of gadget to include an MP3 player. There are even "speakers" — presumably present in case you think your digital slideshows need some crappy-sounding accompaniment.

For $80 on Amazon, I'd prefer a little wireless tech, but at least the clock is easier to read than those crazy Tokyoflash watches. It would probably but disappoint gearheads, but for tech dabblers, why not?
