SanDisk does it again with their new Photo Album device. The unit allows its user to display pictures or video clips on their TVs with ease. Even better, the consumer has the option of including soundtracks with their pictures if they prefer.

SanDisk Corporation today introduced the SanDisk ® Photo Album, a compact, sleek and easy-to-use device that lets consumers display digital still pictures or video clips on their TV sets and even attach soundtracks to slide shows. Using any one of eight flash memory card formats as well as portable USB flash drives, the unit also enables consumers to play MP3 music files on their home audio systems. The media player was launched at a SanDisk press conference during the Photokina 2004 imaging trade show, where the company is exhibiting products in Hall 1.2, Aisle A, Booth 059 of the Cologne Exhibition Center.

The SanDisk Photo Album (SPA) allows consumers to bypass their computers entirely when storing, organizing and viewing images from a digital camera. Rather than having friends or family crowding around a small PC monitor, a user can attach the SanDisk Photo Album to any television set that has an audio/video input, then show larger-than-life images and video clips. The device comes with a remote control that allows for multiple functions. With a suggested retail price of US $49.99( approximately €46 excluding VAT ), the SanDisk Photo Album will be sold worldwide through consumer electronics and photo retailers.
