Remember bigger
As comedian Demetri Martin put it "I love digital cameras, because they enable you to reminisce immediately." Except that they only allow one or two people at a time to see what was just shot. And then after the camera or camcorder has traded hands three or four times, it's "I'll just put it on Facebook" time. Well, there's an easier way. With the CP40 from perpetual innovator 3M, everyone at the party can get another look at Little Johnny blowing out the candles. This handy device combines an HD camcorder, 5MP digital camera, and a projector in one chic unit. With a separately-purchased microSD card, you can record up to 20 hours of video, then play it (or photos you've taken) back instantly for anyone willing to watch. Should you decide that you'd still like to put your work on Facebook for those not in the room, a USB port lets you easily transfer media to your computer and charge the battery. But perhaps the best thing about the CP40 is that it includes audio and video inputs to play back the sound and video from your iPod, phone, DVD player, or game system. Since the screen gets up to 65" (diagonally), and the device itself is palm-sized, this just might be the best way to share photos or video on the fly.
