It’s probably fair to say that the LCD Photo Frame business has reached a laggard level of adoption – even my girlfriend’s 60 year old parents have one in their kitchen.  Today, Kogan added to the clutter with the introduction of their 8-inch LCD photo frame.  It sports a 8-inch 800×600 LCD and the always useful WiFi to display what is an endless array of photos via email, RSS feeds and the popular social networking sites.  They’ve even got an iPhone app that allows easy uploading of photos and they’re reports that you can get the all encompassing Twitter on this thing.  It includes a remote that stores neatly in the stand.  Available July 10th for about $135 (listed at $169 AU).

Personally, I prefer Conan’s ‘Twitter Tracker‘ to stay abreast of celeb Twitter news.

Miniatures are cool, but retro miniatures are even cooler.  The USB Retro Vacuum measures just 8-inch tall, but that doesn’t stop it from sucking up your desk crumbs. Yup, it’s a fully functional vacuum cleaner that draws its power from a USB 2.0 port and can be yours for £7.99 ($13).

Solar panels embedded on any product are practical but efficient, I don’t think so.  Nonetheless, I really like where iUnika is going with their 8-inch netbook, which they’re in fact calling a UMPC.  Embedded on the lid of the 1.5lb machine is a solar panel that is designed to supplement, not charge the laptop.  Hopefully this will extend its battery life and keep it off the grid all the longer.  Under the hood is some 400Mhz processor – you won’t be playing the latest installment of COD – 128MB RAM, Linux OS, SD card reader, 8-inch LCD, WiFi and 3G connectivity, 3x USB ports and 64GB of storage.  Expect the UMPC from iUnika to go on sale this June or July for about $200.
