The Sony Vaio CP1 is Sony’s latest offering in digital picture frames. Aside from showing photos, which it does on a sexy 7” LCD display whilst calling on 16 million colours, it is also packed with a whole bunch of other stuff which is possibly a bit OTT. But the best thing about this frame is that it has wifi !

You can access all of your photos (well, not all of them!) on your computer wirelessly, rather than being limited to a certain number on your memory card. It also allows you to grab photos off compatible online photo albums such as Picasa.  

There are other features that I’m not so sure about such as the built-in RSS reader so you can keep up to date with world affairs and the weather, errr why, its a photo frame? But hold on, there is more,  it displays the time, touts built-in stereo speakers and has an MP3 player so you can have choonz with your photos. Is there no end to its talents!!

It retails in the region of £200, which is pricey but it is quite nice a pressie idea if you’ve got the money to spare!

 Girl Geek Alert

Apparently it’s not compatible with a mac so if you want to get pics off that, you have to either download them on to a memory stick and plug it in or stick your pictures in an online photo album.

 All these yummy colours and sexy curved shape aren’t the only rockalicious things about the new iPod Nano. It has a feature called Genius which finds the songs in your library that go well together and creates a Genius Playlis for you. Genius! You can also turn or tilt the new nano on it’s side and the image goes with you.

The bessssstest new feature has to be the the shake one so if you fancy a different track you ’shake your nano groove thing’ and it shuffles to a different song.

It also features a high resolution 2inch wide screen display so great for watching movies and videos as well as having games made especially for the Nano and the accelerometer. Available in 8GB  for £109 and 16GB for £149, overall pretty cool. 

The new BOSE SoundDock Portable music system, ooh that’s catchy, not, is a sleek little number, that produces a sound that the manufacturers say blows away all other battery power ipod speakers (then again they would say  that )
 
It uses a rechargable Lithium-ion battery which gives you more music power and a longer playing time.

The ipod dock swivels neatly into the main body of the speaker to protect it when you are on the move and there is a handle incorporated down the back.
 
The great thing about this dock is it is compatible with all nano, mini, photo, and video models, and the system also plays music from your iPhone, very neat.  You also get a custom remote and auxiliary input allowing you to play other portable sources too.
 
It comes in black or white however the only down side is the cost, it ain’t cheap at £299 but it is Bose and you pay for quality.
 
You better update your playlists before you take this one outside!!!
