We can't say we've ever wanted to carry digital pics on a keychain, but no one ever said a gadget had to have a demand before it was made. This Pocket Album keychain from Digital Foci has a 1.5-inch OLED screen that displays pictures (well, more like thumbnails) in 128 x 128-pixel glory. The 32MB of internal memory stores up to 124 photos, which is great… for 2002. C'mon, guys, if Apple can cram 2GB into the iPod Shuffle, surely you could cram at least 512MB in this thing.
Still, we've got to give it props for maximum portability (1.8 x 1.8 x 0.7 inches, 1.4 ounces), and what do you want for $49 bucks anyway? If the screen looks OK we have to reluctantly admit that this tiny digital frame/keychain hybrid is actually kind of cool. It might even make a good gift for either a ADD-afflicted yung'in or your photographer pal who has it all.

"If the screen looks ok?" It should be the best screen you've ever laid eyes on, if OLED display technology lives up to the hype (super bright, super black blacks, low power, etc). I ordered one yesterday, we'll see how it looks. I agree 32M is kinda disapointing. I think the screen is pretty pricey, so I guess they had to cut costs somewhere on a $50 gadget. Kodak just released an OLED picture frame for $999 yesterday, you can upgrade to that if you need more memory.
