One thing I hate about having so many gadgets is keeping track of all the wires, manuals, disks, and parts that come with them. I'm getting better at keeping track of all those extras, but I wish each gadget came with a special accessories container to help me get more organized. Don't you?

Gizmodo spotted Canon's Selphy CP770, a dye-sublimation photo printer that sits on top of a storage container deep enough to hold all the wires and extra parts that come with the printer. The printer itself is detachable, and can be placed anywhere in a room.

Gizmodo says the Selphy printer is aimed at kids, which might explain the big buttons, the 2.5-inch TFT screen, and of course, the colorful beach bucket design. The printer features 300 x 300 dpi color, can print borderless postcard-size photos, supports most memory cards, and uses USB/IR/PictBridge connections. It also includes a very cool face recognition feature I find very useful, as it optimizes the background around each face and does red-eye correction as well.

The printer will sold in Japan starting June 15th for around $150, and hopefully will come to the U.S. soon.

    ....Would a kid so young as to need big buttons and bright colors really need a printer? I've got to wonder.
