Hi, Julie:
My suggestion for The Gadgeteer is the inclusion of a Most Wanted list where readers would describe the gadget they'd like to have, even if that gadget is not yet available.
You seem to have the ear of at least a few manufacturers. Wouldn't it be cool if one or more of them actually listened to us and made some of the gadgets we described?
On "Help The Gadgeteer spend money and win some prizes!" in Julie's gear diary:
This is an odd idea, but I think it might be entertaining. Suppose you review YOURSELF as if you were a gadget. You know, what it Julie good for and what is Julie NOT so good at doing, etc. Perhaps someone else should review Julie so that the review is objective. Is Julie worth her Manufacturer's Suggested Price? Read the review and find out. Like I said, an odd idea, but an entertaining one.

On Brando USB 2.4" Digital Photo Album:
The keychain photo frame I mentioned has an internal battery which charges via USB. You can also run it directly from USB.
Oh, it also works with Macs (I have a Mac and it's working just fine with it).
You can go to cobyusa.com and take a look at their keychain photo viewers. This particular one has several model numbers for some reason; mine is model 151SX. I'm not entirely sure what the differences among the seemingly-identical items are.
If you buy one, be sure to check Coby's site for software updates for your specific model.
Funny, over the weekend, I bought a keychain photo viewer with a 1.5 inch screen at the local Fred Meyer store. It's made by Coby and cost me $17.99.
From the screenshots you provided, it's the same unit with a smaller screen. The interface and list of menu items are exactly the same. This unit is probably made by some Chinese factory none of us has ever heard of with different screen sizes and with different company names on the outside. I'd suggest that people shop around for the best price for the screen size they want.
Oh, my version holds 60 images, by the way, probably because the smaller screen means smaller files.
