Seoul, Nov. 14, 2007 – Emtrace Technologies, Inc. (Emtrace) has recently introduced another Widget Platform Device named Photoskins that delivers your favorite photos in an innovative and portable way. At the Unveiled@NY press conference, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has announced Photoskins as the winner of 2008 Best of Innovations Design and Engineering Award. Photoskins makes Emtrace the consecutive winner at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). WidgetStation was Emtrace’s 2007 CES Innovations winner, where the standalone device delivers the information of user’s interest in real time via Widgets on its dual display.

This compact sized device is slightly bigger than the size of a credit card with a thickness of 4.7mm. This sleek and delicate model presents high definition TFT LCD display that brings vivid and fine quality to the images on its 2.5” color display. The front panel has a glossy black ABS with aluminum on the back for durability.

Photoskins is great for viewing favorite photos on photo sharing communities such as Flickr, Webshots, and Picasa. The latest posts are downloaded to the photo widget in your Photoskins when connected to a network. Updates of photos are saved so that users can view them portably anytime, anywhere.

When connected to a network, place the Photoskins on its cradle and use it as a Widget Player. Wide selections of Widgets are available from News, Weather, Stocks, Webcams, Entertainment, Sports and more. Network automatically synchronizes and delivers the real time information right to your display. Photoskins on cradle becomes your innovative gadget for all the information you need.

The release date of Photoskins is yet to be defined. Emtrace can be found at 2008 CES in Las Vegas where you will be able to experience Photoskins.
