Show off your digital snapshots with Digi-Frame's DF-1710 LCD picture frame. The gold-framed, 17-inch display comes with a CD-ROM drive so you can easily transfer favorite digital photos onto the unit's 12GB hard drive. You can add audio tracks to your images, as well, to make them talk or sing. This digital decoration doesn't come cheap, however: The DF-1710 retails for a very steep $1999.

Thanks for the Memory:

SanDisk has unveiled a new removable flash memory storage format called TransFlash; the vendor claims it's the smallest of its kind.
