sneakers
The idea behind Nike's new PhotoID scheme is that you take a picture with your cellphone and MMS it to Nike's computers. These grab the two dominant colors and send you back an image of a 1985 Dunk high-top basketball sneaker with the colors mapped on. Cool, but here's the neat bit: you can buy the sneakers. Clever bit of PR from Nike, but it does mean you could get a pair of sneakers in hues to match your fave photos... be that sandy yellow and ocean blue, or clean bedsheet white and nubile-skin pink if you're into that sort of cellphone photography. Launches today, but you'll have to be in one of nine European countries if you fancy trying it out. [The Guardian]

NDrive G800 GPS Uses Real Photography For Navigation
Even though this is UK and Ireland only, NDrive's G800 GPS is notable because it's the first GPS system we've heard of that uses real photography for navigation. How did the company get aerial views of everywhere in the UK? We have no idea. It also comes with videos, photos, e-books, music, games, FM transmitter, a 4.3-inch screen and Bluetooth. If you live in the rest of Europe, excluding the Southeast portion, you can purchase maps for your country. Something tells us the aerial photo views aren't for the entire country, because that would be ridiculous and take up so much space on the drive, but we can't find any specs on their website that indicate otherwise.

Photographer Mistaken for Gunman
Sheridan College in Ontario was locked down last Friday because it was suspected a gunman was on the premises. Thankfully, it was a false alarm, but how do you mistake a gunman? Apparently, all it took was a lone photographer, some camouflage cargo pants and his free-standing tripod. More »

Korean Engineers Develop Miraculous 20,000-Year Photograph
Tucked into a dark and tiny corner of the PMA showfloor is a revolution made by a small Korean company called Wooyoun: metal photographs that last for 20,000 years. These images depicting the Democratic US presidential frontrunners (and no Republicans) were chemically etched in a patented, print-like process—probably with stuff that gives improperly masked technicians some horribly debilitating ailment. They'll last up to 1,000 years under the hot unforgiving sun. Hear that? Screw biodegradability. Put another way, that Hillary card you see in the gallery will outlast her reign by at least 15,000 years.
photo frame
PhotoVu is doing what they do best with the new 1765w, namely develop cool RSS- and Wi-Fi-enabled digital photo frames —except this time they are cramming it all into a relatively compact 17-inch form factor. The frame comes equipped with a 1280 x 800 LCD display, built-in software to handle apps like iPhoto and Picasa, an RSS reader, support for services like Flickr, SmugMug, and .Mac as well as the ability to organize it all remotely via the internet. The whole package clocks in at a not-so-affordable $699, so make sure you have some photogenic friends and family. [Product Page]

Credit Card Image Viewer Is Easily Pantsable
Like carrying pictures of your kids around but have way too many kids? This Wallet Pix credit card sized picture viewer lets you take out 58 wallet-sized photos in digital form, all in a package you can fit easily into your wallet. It has auto-shutoff and auto-resizing, and works with newer Windows machines. And at 58 wallet-sized photos, that's enough for 54 of your spawn and 4 of your wives, because there's no way in hell that one woman could pop out 57 kids—even with twins and triplets mixed in there.

photo frame
The Gigantor photo frame isn't only big on size, like its name, but it's big on value as well. For $249, you'd normally only be able to get an 11-inch photo frame, but the Gigantor gives you 15 inches of mother-in-law- viewing glory (as opposed to the 19-inch monstrosity that is the PhotoVu). It even has built-in speakers, an IR remote, eight types of memory card support, MPEG1/2/4 video and 1024 x 768 resolution. Gojira would be proud. [ThinkGeek via Crunchgear]
