Digital Photo Keychain
Technology has advanced a great deal in the last decades and things we were only dreaming of in the past are now possible. Among the many crazy gadgets that we enjoy today, one is the digital photo keychain. All it takes is for the owner to upload pictures of the people he loves or of the places he likes best, and there it is! the perfectly customized keychain ever. Most key chains of this kind can also be engraved on their back so personalizing them goes as far as 90 percent. The price of such a key chain – around 20 dollars average - may not be very appealing if you take into account the price of a regular key chain; yet, for the tech keen on, it might be quite reasonable.
Most digital photo keychain models work just like a memory stick only that some need to have a battery. They work like a digital photo frame having a viewer and making use of a USB to transfer data on it. The display is the built in type and may vary in size depending on the size of the digital photo keychain itself. The image formats that it can support also varies depending on the manufacturer’s choices, but most often they can display and recognize BMP, JPEG and GIF formats. The inner memory again may differ from one model to another, some models having a memory flash of up to 8 MB and thus being a little more expensive. The battery is rechargeable so there should be no real issues with buying new and getting rid of old batteries.
People who have purchased a digital photo keychain have expressed satisfaction with the ease of using it. The high resolution of the screens is one element that clearly attracts buyers. Another is the USB cable connection that makes the transfer from the PC to the digital photo keychain very much simplified. Others have been pleased with the smart way of recharging the batteries while actually making the data transfer. While the digital photo keychain is connected to the PC, its battery gets recharged.
One disadvantage of the digital photo keychain is that the smarter it is, the more expensive. The price can go up to 50 dollars if the keychain has all the above mentioned features. However, carrying the photos of your loved ones in digital form will be much easier than in paper form, so many prefer to have this kind of gadget for personal use.
