Bargain of the century

In the sixties and seventies, it's what you'd have called a Radiogram.

Well, actually, it doesn't have a radio, it does play video, and you need to plug it into a stereo.

But it's just about the bargain of the century. I've been listening to it all day, courtesy of an 8MB USB memory stick I've plugged into the side of it.

It's a digital photo frame. It plays Divx videos, shows you pictures, plays music, and has a perfectly usable, if clunky user interface.

But that's OK, because it cost £24. That's all. It's one of those moments when you realise that electronics - measured by function - just keep getting cheaper and cheaper.

If you want one, they've got several hundred of them here.
