Hama PhotoPlayer 1080i digital picture viewer
Hey there Ansel Adams -- we know you're shooting all your news pictures in an ultra-detailed, millions-of-megapixels format. Unfortunately for you, it's hard to show off your breathtaking work to friends and family. Well, a company called Hama hopes to change all that with its PhotoPlayer 1080i, a curious device that serves one basic function: it allows you to view your photos on an HD television. Basically, the little contraption is a 35-in-1 card reader which also outputs images (via component hookups) to your favorite 1080i-equipped display. The PhotoPlayer comes with a tiny remote for flipping through your majestic vision, and also includes a USB jack (for hard drives and the like), so you can go for a really, really long haul during your presentations. We can hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" already. Available now, no word on price.

A composite hookup can only send 480i (and maybe 576i for PAL setups) to your TV.

The device also had component output, which is capable of HD resolutions

The problem I was referring to was this line: "also outputs images (via composite hookups) to your favorite 1080i-equipped display". I think it's pretty sad that a writer for an HD blog can't get the connector names straight.
