The Kodak EasyShare SV811 isn't the largest screen (there is also a 10in model, and other manufacturers produce frames larger even than this), but if you prize easy wireless connectivity and flexible content playback above screen size then the 8in Kodak EasyShare SV811 is a very good choice.

Its 16:9 aspect ratio makes photos look horrible and there's no way to change this. However, that same aspect ratio makes widescreen video file playback very enjoyable. As a picture frame, the Kogan falters, but as a video frame, it does well.

Fixity Disc, Fixity Lens and Fixity Clean Screen are decent little repair kits that (mostly) do a good job for the asking price. They will assist in the upkeep and maintenance of your DVDs, disc players and LCD screens.

The Pixel Chix should provide enough activities to keep the kids occupied and the interlinking play between units is a great feature.

Despite a few notable flaws, and one of the worst puns we've ever heard, this remains a fun little party game that is ideal for families and non-gamers. If you're a movie buff, you're guaranteed to love it.

Nu's digital photo frame offers support for a variety of flash cards as well as inbuilt memory, but poor viewing angles may detract from the overall experience.

The Oregon Scientific Weather Station (BARM688) is a smart little gadget with plenty of bedside-friendly features. It's almost like having your own personal weatherman without the bad jacket.

The Smart Globe does have some minor problems, but the price is very reasonable, and it also offers live update via the Internet, making it an ideal tool to help children learn about the world.

If you'd prefer to receive your weather forecasts 24 hours a day, the Oregon Scientific Radio-Controlled Projection Clock might just be what the weatherman ordered. If you're not too fussed by this feature however, $150 is a lot to pay for a radio-free alarm clock.

The Speed Unlimited suffers from too many flaws to be considered as a serious remote controlled car contender. While some users may be attracted by the price, enthusiasts will want to look elsewhere.

Whereas some manufacturers are fitting as many features as possible into photo frames in order to attract attention, Parrot has opted to emphasise design. The result is a nice frame with some quirks. Still, with excellent Bluetooth implementation and a design that will match modern decor, this is a hard frame to pass up.

When it comes to playing music and telling the time, the Philips Clock Radio is a pretty solid performer. Unfortunately, it falls down as a digital photo frame due to its lacklustre display.
