We’ve seen Android on a Mini-Note, and we’ve seen it on an Eee PC, but we never thought in a million years that we’d ever see Android on mom’s hat. Looking for a way to simplify his mother’s regular tech support calls (the universal remote often throws her for a loop) Dan O’Sullivan dreamt up his Camera Hat for Complicated Televisions. The whole megillah consists of an Android handset strapped to the forehead — miner’s lamp-style — with a custom app streaming camera footage to the web, where he can keep an eye on things while he talks her through turning on The Price Is Right for, like, the zillionth time (if she’s anything like our moms, that is). Hit the read link for some more info on the project and the full source code.

Well, it looks like the ol’ softies and TRENDnet have finally found a way to liven up the family photo slideshow a bit: ’round the clock security camera footage! To make that possible, the company’s new 7-inch TV-M7 photo frame connects to your home network and is able to detect any wireless TRENDnet security cameras also connected to the network, which can be displayed on their own or four at a time on the screen. Otherwise, the device looks to be a fairly standard photo frame, with it packing 512MB of built-in storage and a memory card slot for further expansion, along with a remote control, a built-in speaker, and all the usual media playback functionality. As you might expect, however, you won’t get this one for the price of your usual 7-inch photo frame, with it running a somewhat hefty $262.99.
