If you got a new camera phone for Christmas, or even a brand new digital camera you’ll probably have clicked up a number of photos by now, some of which you will have deleted straight away, whilst others you will want to keep.

Of course you have various options to display your photos but here are some of our favourites.

Get your digital pictures printed out

There are many services that will enable you to transfer your digital photos into good old fashioned prints, and you either need to take a CD, DVD or memory card to your local photo shop where they will carry out the service for you or there are a number of online services where you upload the photos you want printed and order them online. Snapfish is one such service, but there are others as well. Most will also have introductory offers: for example at the moment you can get 30 free prints from Snapfish.

Put a photo on your desktop

There are many places where you might be able to show your favourite digital photo, for example the desktop of your PC, your camera phone desktop, or on your PDA. The advantage of digital photos means that whenever you get bored with that photo, or you take a better one you can easily stop around.

Get a digital photo frame

A digital photo frame takes the desktop display idea one step further and allows you to display hundreds of digital photos in an electronic format, either as a slideshow, or by simply showing your favourite. Over the last few months the design and quality digital photo frames as improved immensely and of course the cost has also come down with digital photo frames now available for under £50. Visit Buy Digital Photo Frame for more information and a great selection.

And whatever option you choose, remember to back up your photos off your PC and onto a CD, just in case your PC stops working.

Manufactured in a joint-venture between Bang & Olufsen and Samsung, the Serene is probably unlike any other mobile phone you will ever come across. From the start it has obviously been designed by Bang & Olufsen and its pedigree is clear to see. The phone can best be described as a clam shell, and closed up has a slightly trapezoid shape.

With the launch of the iPhone on 02, we have glossed over the launce of the Skype phone/mobile link up with the 3 Network.

If you use Skype, then you know all about the benefits of free calls, particularly free international calls. And with a stand alone Skype phone costing upwards of £100 (of course access to the network is free if you use a PC), this looks lie a good deal. Free phone, with the starter price plan at £12 per month.

The phone comes with a built in 2 megapixel camera, music player and memory expndable to 1GB with an SD card.

If you don’t want to sign up to a contract the skypephone is avaialble on PAYG for only £49.99 and you get free Skype access for 30 days after you top up with at least £10. Becasue of this, the Skpyephone is going onto our Best Buys for Christmas list.

It would seem that Nokia have delayed the relaunch of N-Gage to December, stating that software testing is taking longer than expected.

Given that certain games have been in the pipeline for many, many months, and also the fanfare in August, with which Nokia announced the proposed November launch date, one may have thought Nokia would have been certain that the development would be ready.

November is obvioulsy an ideal time to stoke up interest prior to Christmas. This delay may be another case of just too late, for N-Gage.

Another natty technological wonder is the LukWerks security system from WiLife, that lets you view a CCTV camera situated in your home, from the comfort of your mobile phone.

And this system is super affordable, when compared with professionally installed systems, as it uses your existing PC to control the system.

There are three cameras to choose from, one for indoors, one for outside and one disguised as a clock (the spycam). The indoor cameras simply plug into a power outlet and then transmit to the receiver station connected to your PC.

Once set up and running you can view the camera feed from any windows powered smartphone. If you don’t have a windows smartphone, then you can still receive emails with video clips, to check your home is secure.

Unfortunately it would seem this system is only available in the US, at least for the moment, but with the wonders of the internet, it can’t be too long before it is available for shipping to the UK.

The release of 28 Days Later on DVD, is heralded with a poster that includes a QR code (QR for Quick Response). And following up from this post on searching from your phone, this seems most timely.

Although these little boxes of dots are not new, the prevalence of camera phones in the UK suggests that the time is right for them to pop up everywhere. Load up your cameraphone with a QR reader (Some phones like the Nokia N93 come preloaded), and the small bar code like image can be decoded to provide a web address, telephone number of snippet of text.

Thrrum.com have released a visual browser application that will enable compatible cameraphone users (limited to Sont Ericsson at the moment) to search via a photograph.

Take a photo, and with the visual browser, search directly for more information.

The application currently costs $5.99, for 12 months visual searching and is available for the following mobiles…..

• K550
• K770
• K790
• K800
• K810
• K850
• K650

So is this the way forward for search or just another gadget application? If you are searching for a real estate listing form a ‘For Sale’ board, it might be quicker and easier to go to the url listed on the board. If you are trying to tie up details from an advertising billboard, this search may give a broader range of results, and $5.99 is not a lot to try it out, if you are a Sony Ericsson owner.

Nokia have today released more information on the eagerly awaited N-Gage application. The expected release date is now set for November 2007 although some new N series phones will come prepackaged with a demo of the software.

Also announced today are details of phones that will initially be compatible with the N-Gage software and these are:

• Nokia N73
• Nokia N81
• Nokia N81 8GB
• Nokia N93
• Nokia N93i
• Nokia N95
• Nokia N95 8GB

To herald the new launch, the N-Gage website has also been redesigned.

Games that will initially be available are set to include:

• Hooked on: Creatures of the Deep
• Asphalt 3: Street rules
• Snakes Subsonic
• Mile High Pinball
• Brothers in Arms
• The Sims 2: Pets
• Midnight Pool 3D
• Pros Series Golf
• Space Impact Kappa Base
• Dogz
• World Series of poker
• ONE
• Block Breaker Deluxe
• Brain Challenge
• System Rush:evolution
• Bounce Boing Voyage

And what of the new phones announced? There are two handsets with 8GB memory, the N81 and the N95, although both of these will also be available with lower built in memory and the option to increase it with expansion cards.

The N81 will have dedicated music and gaming keys, a 3.5 mm headphone connector and WLAN connectivity. And for a machine that is hearalding the relaunch of Nokia’s gaming platform, it will also have a 2 megapixel camera built in, something lacking from the original N-Gage handsets.

If you are looking for a new watch then the new Sony Ericsson MWD 150 may be just what you are after. That is if you want your mobile phone to talk to your new watch.

The Bluetooth enabled range of watches will allow you to control music that is playing from your mobile phone as well as see who is calling, even if your phone is all the way over the other side of the room.

Possibly rather annoyingly, the watch will vibrate if you move out of range of the mobile phone, and as the maximum range is 10 m, unless you keep your phone on you all the time (which rather defeats the object of a Bluetooth watch), you may find your wrist is tingling rather too often.

That said, the watches do look the part for the gadget lover who has everything.

Nokia has announced the launch of three new wireless headsets including the BH -803, a stunning black and silver earpiece with high-quality audio and Digital Signal Processing, to help keep out background noise and reduce echoing.

There is a touch sensitive volume control as well as a mute option. The unit weighs 11.3 g and should be compatible with all Bluetooth mobile phones.
