We all love boring…sorry, entertaining friends with our photos. But cracking out your laptop to show some piccy of you wearing a sombrero and nothing else is a right hassle. And stuffing wadges of photographs in your pocket is incredibly last century. So prepare to go gaga over the stunning ALBUM Portable Digital Photo Gallery.
No bigger than a paperback, this ultra-chic 4GB photo album can store over 40,000 photos, showcasing them on its eye-poppingly crisp 7” screen. Just upload your photos directly from your digital camera, memory card, flash drive or computer, then pop the ALBUM in your pocket or bag. It’s a doddle.
As you’d expect, the idiot-proof ALBUM features an automatic slideshow function. You can also scroll through pics manually, delete photos and create albums and favourites using its unobtrusive side buttons. Try doing that with an old school photo album. (Actually, don’t; people will think you’re mental).
If you’re sceptical about the ALBUM’s incredible capacity, relax. Unlike inferior digital albums it actually resizes your photos. This means it really does hold 40,000 pics, so you won’t have to resize them on a computer before downloading them. Simply activate the nifty Clean Up function to optimise resolution.
Yes, we know you can trawl through photos on your camera/phone, but unless onlookers have got bionic eyes, the overall effect is pretty rubbish. Think of the ALBUM as a digital portfolio or a hi-tech version of those enormous leather-bound albums that dullards stuff with wedding and holiday snaps.

If your normal home movies are about as badly put together as Pete Doherty’s tailoring, what you need is the world’s simplest and easiest camcorder. Trying to catch those beautiful one-off moments without the fuss and bother – and cost – of a heavy-duty model used to mean trading in quality footage for convenience. No longer, traveller.
Enter the bad boys of mobile movie making: the Flip camera range. They’re a pair of easy-peasy digital video cameras that have already taken America by storm. Their trick is to be like Herman Munster: simple, sturdy, and with a heart of gold. The Flip Ultra II and Flip Mino cameras are both so simple to use that anyone from 5 to 105 can be a miniature director: press the large button that says ‘on’, press the button that says ‘start’ and hocus pocus – you’re the cul-de-sac’s very own Stanley Kubrick all of a sudden.
Whether you’re shooting your dog dressed up like Yoda for a Star Wars re-enactment or simply your pal Dave falling off a fence in a priceless You’ve Been Framed moment, you’ll be amazed at how well both the Flip Ultra II and Flip Mino stand up to the scrutiny of critics. The Mino comes with 2GB of memory on board, which is enough for 60 minutes of filming at a crisp 640 x 480 pixels in MPG4 format. There’s no need to worry about the palaver of focusing – it’s automatic, and with a 2x zoom available you’ll be able to dispense with your Gaffer, Best Boy and all the rest of the crew.
Price: £109.99 from Firebox

Despite its jaunty name, the pocket-sized PoGo doesn't boing up and down (shame) but it will print the photos trapped inside your mobile phone (wirelessly) or digital camera (via USB) in seconds, wherever you may roam. Best of all, cutting-edge thermal technology means you'll never have to buy an ink cartridge again. Smile!
