Any idea of what the connector from the right is named?

That's a board to board connector. Can you use a scope to identify any markings? Other useful information would be the connector dimensions and pitch. – Jason Jul 23 '12 at 18:39
Do you have a better picture of the right hand one? – Oli Glaser Jul 23 '12 at 19:07

What's the left one doing there? You only ask about the other one. – stevenvh Jul 23 '12 at 19:11
@Oli - I think it's the one in my answer. Better picture. – stevenvh Jul 23 '12 at 19:11

@Kortuk - Why was this converted to a comment? It completely answers his question. He asked what type of connector the photo to the right was. It is a board to board connector. I could delete the request for more information on the exact part and it would still be a complete answer eh? – Jason Jul 24 '12 at 4:04

The left one is called Micro-MaTch™ connector, and it's a board to flat cable

or board-to-board connector. This is a two-part connector, but there are also versions where you solder the flat cable holding part directly, so that it can't be removed.

The other one is a board-to-board connector, like Jason says.

Usually you'll have a couple of them, so that the boards can't rotate relative to the other one. This is tricky, though, as the least mispositioning will cause strain on the solder connections.

What type of board to board connector is that?, I'm bumping into lots of different types and cannot find that specific one. – dukeofgaming Aug 2 '12 at 15:24
@duke - It could be a JMC connector by JST. – stevenvh Aug 2 '12 at 15:37
