Yep. That’s a 1.5″ LCD screen. It displays images stored in the mouse’s built-in 8MB memory. It supports bmp and jpg files, and I think the mouse also comes with a cropping and managing tool for the pictures, although no mention is made of such a program in the product page.

You can trigger the display and browse the files manually, but you can also set the mouse to automatically play a slideshow, I guess so that your palm won’t be bored while you’re too busy looking at, I don’t know, normal sized pictures on your computer.

Brando is selling the USB Optical Mouse with Digital Photo Frame for $32 (USD). The more I look at this product, the less sense it makes. At least the weighing scale/mouse combo adds a function that you can’t get from a computer.

Designed to look like a curvy retro television, complete with rabbit ear antennae, the QTV frame shows your digital images on its doll-house-sized 3.5″ LCD screen.

Just plug in your USB thumb drive or your SD/SDHC memory card, and you can view your media in a snap. Of course, with an underwhelming 320×234 pixel screen resolution, image quality should be just about as good as that old 1960s Zenith you have sitting in the basement.

What the QTV lacks in image resolution, it certainly tries to make up for it in features. Not only does it let you view your JPEG images, it offers MP3 playback, an alarm clock, a calendar, and an FM radio. It even includes AVI/MP4/DIVX video playback, so you can watch all your favorite (pre-recorded) TV programs on the teensy weensy screen. About the only thing the QTV doesn’t do is tune actual TV broadcasts. Go figure.

You can find the QTV digital photo frame in pink and yellow versions over at Brando for $89 USD. The only thing missing is a tiny little remote control.
