Abstract
A device, system, method and software product for storing, maintaining, sharing and displaying of digital images in a common designated collection on at least one portable storage and display device. The device has a first memory section designated for storing images that are obtained by the digital device and a second memory section for storing digital images of the designated collection. The second memory section has a protected mode that prevents the digital images in the second memory section from being deleted or overwritten until the user of the digital display and storage device disables the protected mode. When the protected mode of the second section is disabled then the device will overwrite the digital images of the second memory section with the newly captured digital images. The digital images in the second memory section that were overwritten are restored to the second memory section when the digital display and storage device is in communication link with a database that has information for restoring the digital images that has been overwritten after newly obtained images in the second memory have been removed from the device.
