Sony Ericsson has a couple new gadgets that might do just the trick for dad. We start with the Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot, which rides on the increasing consumer craze to pack higher-quality cameras into traditional cell phones.

While cell phone cameras have been discussed even in the 10-megapixel range, that’s still down the road. The Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot delivers 5 megapixels, face detection, automatic focus, red-eye correction and FM radio.

Dad might also be satisfied coupling a new handset like the C902 with a Bluetooth stereo headset like the Sony Ericsoon HBH-IS800.

Its main sell for dad is doing away with dangling headset cords that often hang in the front. Instead, this one only has a short and lightweight cable that’s attached to its sleek earbuds.
