Featuring a 3.5-inch screen, the new pocket-sized JOBO S4 Mobile photo Display is the most compact and lightweight JOBO model to date. The new JOBO S4 Mobile Photo Display fits nicely in a pocket or handbag and is especially designed for consumers to use anywhere anytime. It is also available in two popular color choices - black or white."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1218752615.usr1.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>This product seems a bit...curious to me. Carrying a picture frame in your jacket pocket or purse? You'd have to be really hard-core about your photos to want to carry a frame with you. Most people would just load up images on their mobile phones, or MP3 player, and it would probably be classified as "good enough". There's no word on the pricing either - I suppose it it were quite cheap (perhaps $49?) it might be a fun gadget to use now and then...but I suspect it's not going to be that cheap. Would you use a gadget like this?</p>

Eh. That's the problem with digital picture frames. Price. I bet this will probably start at about $149. So no, I won't buy it. I hope we see the average price for items like this drop to the $29-$49 range in the very near future. Then I'd buy a bunch to put around the house and office.

More consumers will buy these if the prices were right. If there were more competition among digital photo frames we'd see prices drop to a decent area.
