Pandigital 3G Enabled Photo Frame

Posted on January 6, 2010 10:08 AM

Pandigital’s new Internet-connected photo frame, the Photo Mail LED Digital Photo Frame sports a 3G connection from AT&T, as well as an always-on connection to HP’s Snapfish photo service. With those features in place, the photo frame can automatically show any photos sent to an individually given e-mail address, reflecting that content on a publicly accessible Snapfish web site. If online isn’t your thing, you can always use its 6-in-1 card reader to store pictures on its built-in 1GB memory. Its 800 x 600 8-inch display can also playback AVI videos, MP3 audio, aside from the usual photo display function. The frame will be going for $150, and you’ll get a maximum of 300 photo uploads via the 3G link, and if you want more, you’ll need to buy blocks of extra photo uploads directly from Pandigital.

Appstand offers picture frame solution for iPhone

The iPhone is a handset that is pretty nice to look at all by itself, but what happens when you decide to turn it into your own digital picture frame? That can be accomplished with the Appstand, where $20 will do just that. All you need to do is start the slideshow application, place your iPHone within and you're good to go. It won't block your microphone or speaker, while the integrated cable management comes in handy so that you won't end up with a tangled mess.

Sony Digital Frame with built-in printer

Posted on October 22, 2009 11:33 AM

This Sony DPP-F700 digital frame has a built-in color that can output 6x4", 300dpi photos in just 45 seconds. The main display is a 7" LCD screen with a 800x480 resolution. It's not a touch display, but the buttons on the right side of the frame will let you edit photos and do basic corrections before printing. The photos can come from flashcards (SD, CF, Memory Stick...) or via USB, from a PC.

I've never felt the “urge” to print something while I was looking at my Sony DPF-D80 photo frame, but may be someone out there did. Right now, it seems like it solves a problem that doesn't exist. Maybe re-branding it as a fancy portable printer would make more sense. Either way, what do you think?

HP DreamScreen 100 and 130, live photos

Posted on September 16, 2009 9:00 PM

HP has just announced a new family of devices called DreamScreen 100 and DreamScreen 130. As their names indicate, they have 10.2" and 13.3" displays. Some might call DreamScreen a "Tablet", but we do think of it as a very smart photo frame. It is a wirelessly connected display that can stream content from other computers (music, movies, photos...) but it can also connect to the web and get web content directly from there: Facebook updates, music from Pandora... and more. HP has made the setup easier by building a dedicated management software. You can't take it and roam around like a "tablet", but we're pretty sure that HP has thought of it... (we’re crossing our fingers for the next generation) For the little story, DreamScreen is powered by an ARM processor, although HP declined to reveal the name of the chip maker.

Snowing Photo Frame

Check out this weird looking photo frame - first of all, it ain't no digital number that allows you to view hundreds upon hundreds of snapped images from a memory card, but what makes it different is for you to add some spice to your winter shots. When we say that, we mean fake snowflakes that swirl whenever someone comes near the photo frame, courtesy of a built-in proximity sensor. Perfect for folks who want to have a winter wonderland memory of their ruined ski vacation. The Snowing Photo Frame goes for $24.99 each.
