Easy-to-use JOBO S4 Mobile Photo Display features 3.5-inch display and rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 2-1/2 hours of continuous use and is available in two frame colors

Gummersbach, Germany (August 14, 2008) – JOBO AG announces the addition of a new ultra stylish and very portable digital picture frame to the growing JOBO family of digital picture frames. Featuring a 3.5-inch screen, the new pocket-sized JOBO S4 Mobile Photo Display is the most compact and lightweight JOBO model to date. The new JOBO S4 Mobile Photo Display fits nicely in a pocket or handbag and is especially designed for consumers to use anywhere anytime. It is also available in two popular color choices – black or white.

“We are very pleased to introduce this innovative, stylish and portable new JOBO S4 Mobile Photo Display featuring JOBO’s first 3.5 inch viewing screen,” said Johannes Bockemühl, CEO of JOBO. “Adding to the convenience of this new mobile viewing device, its integrated internal battery features approximately 2.5 hours of continuous viewing time so users can easily share their precious digital photos with family and friends anytime, anyplace.”

The compact JOBO S4’s 3.5-inch TFT display features a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with 65,000 colors displayed. This easy-to-use portable digital picture frame features several user-friendly functions all accessible through buttons on the back of the frame.

Digital images can be transferred to the JOBO S4 by inserting an SD or MMC memory card. The digital frame’s 4 MB of internal memory can store up to 50 images; but images can also be displayed directly from an inserted memory card without storing them on the internal memory allowing for the viewing of even more images (depending on the size of the media card).

The new JOBO S4 displays digital pictures full-screen, as individual thumbnail views or in a slide show format featuring a slideshow interval setting. In addition to copy, delete and zoom functions, the JOBO S4 also displays time as well as a calendar. This mobile photo display is able to automatically shut off at a predetermined time (10, 20 or 30 minutes) in order to conserve power.
