Life Amplifier Digital Photograph Display by Wei Chung Lee
“The main function is to magnify the old analogue photographs in your albums and then digitalize them. You can capture certain portions of the pics and view a blown-up version on the hand-held display. This ones for the older generation, so young-guns keep your acid comment to the minimal.”

So, this is an eletronic loupe that can scan and capture from a existing print? Well, interesting except that when you figure the average print has about a 250dpi or less resoultion capability, it makes for some grainy enlargments. Resampling for the final image (e.g. bicubic of nearest neighbor,etc.)might help. Check out the recent Zink Imaging design contest (Zink dot com) and I think there was something similar that was capable of outputing a print all within the same gadget. m-
