The demanding Korean market, where an amazing 84% of households using the Internet have high-speed access, propels LG to develop more advanced products and provides a testing ground for new technologies.

One of its latest models, the SC8000, which came out in Korea in April, combines a PDA, an MP3 player, a digital camera and a camcorder. The advantage is paying off.

To receive a picture, you press the button above the tiny frame. Since it's square, your shots are automatically cropped, which can be a nuisance. Also, to conserve battery life (up to 15 hours...
...Nokia is also introducing a slightly more traditional device, a digital picture frame. The world has seen its fair share of connected LCD frames, from the dial-up-modem-equipped Ceiva to the wi-fi-ready Wallflower. Nokia's SU-4 Image Frame ($239) simplifies the process, with the same infrared connectivity found in the Imagewear line. The SU-7, due later this year, will be equipped with a cell phone.
