I’ve held positions where I’ve traveled extensively, and there are two things I can say. First, hotel room alarm clocks almost never function correctly. Second, I always miss my family. Mustek, bless their hearts, has release a portable digital picture frame/alarm clock combo that solves both problems. With a 1.5 inch, 128X128 CSTN LCD color screen, the TRAVELFOTO can hold 70 pictures without a sweat. That’s enough for a couple day’s travel, to keep a person aware of what his or her family looks like so there’s no embarrassing pauses when returning home. Definitely worth the $40 or so when it comes out in about a month.
