A Grandma-Friendly Digital Photo Frame

Wireless photo frames are great. A tech-savvy gifter can easily configure one ahead of time to snag photos from a Web album, give it to someone a little less in touch with tech, and ensure that they’ll receive up-to-date family photos automatically, without so much as playing with a single menu.

Of course, this assumes the receiving party has Wi-Fi access at home, which, if you’re giving it to someone who really doesn’t use technology, will not be the case. My own grandma probably would have loved a frame like Kodak’s W1020, but without a home Internet connection, she has no way to take advantage of most of its features.

T-Mobile Debuts MMS-Enabled Picture Frame

T-Mobile Debuts MMS-Enabled Picture Frame

Sometimes a product comes along that blends two technologies and the world wonder why no one thought of it before…and sometimes a product blends two technologies and people wonder why anyone thought of it at all. T-Mobile has announced its new T-Mobile Cameo, a digital picture frame that has its own T-Mobile phone number and email address. The idea is that friends and family members can use their camera phones to spontaneously send and share pictures by sending them to the picture frame. The frame can accept images via MMS and email from senders regardless of network—they don’t have to be on T-Mobile—and once a T-Mobile Cameo user has accepted a photo from a particular sender, there’s an option to accept additional images from that user automatically.

James Bond: The Ultimate Spy Gear and Gadget Guide

If someone asked you to name the world’s best-known secret agent, of course you’d answer back with “Bond… James Bond.” (And, most likely, in an unintelligible warble that you’ve convinced yourself passes for a British accent.) Images of stealthy action, fast cars and gorgeous women racing through your mind would likely follow – plus, of course, high-tech toys provided by the trusty Q. Happily for fans of the legendary operative’s films, based on author Ian Fleming’s popular 007 character and associated novels, enthusiasts can also pick up a piece of Bond-branded gadgetry to call their own. Here, in honor of latest big screen blockbuster Quantum of Solace, we look at a few stellar examples, along with a few added gizmos we suspect the dashing hero wouldn’t mind packing along on his next classified assignment.

Sony’s Wi-Fi Frame Does Web Radio, RSS

Moving away from the current crop of nearly identical digital photo frames that do nothing but serve up pictures, Sony released a more capable multi-tasking frame on Wednesday with the Vaio CP1. Besides display photos from camera memory cards, the new frame comes with Wi-Fi for pulling images from the Web, playing radio, and even delivering RSS feeds.

The frame’s 7-inch LCD can display 16 million colors in 800 x 480 resolution, making it one of the higher quality displays used in digital photo frames. It accepts photos from SD cards, CompactFlash and of course Sony’s own Memory Stick Pro format, and has 128MB of internal memory for storing photos locally.

Memorex Gets in Two Digital Photo Frames

Memorex Gets in Two Digital Photo Frames

Consumer electronics brand Memorex has rolled out two new entries in its digital photo frame line, and what they lack in tech-savvy specifications and capabilities, they may make up for in price, distribution (Memorex is distributing them through K-Mart), and a special appeal to snap them up as Mothers’ Day gifts—perhaps pre-loaded with family photos!

"Digital picture frames are becoming so popular in the home and as gift items," said Memorex brand manager Carla Pihowich, in a statement. "Memorex has designed these frames to be a cut above the ordinary design, with feminine graphics that will delight the mom in everyone’s life."

Mustek’s PF-E700 Digital Frame Multitasks

Mustek

With all the computational gadgetry that has to be packed into a digital photo frame just to make it display pictures, you would think that with a little work it could be configured to display more than just photos of Timmy at Disney World – and you would be right. Mustek unveiled the PF-E700 on Thursday, a multitasking digital photo frame that puts its display to work for a host of other features.

Besides pictures, the PF-E700 displays the time, the indoor temperature, a calendar, and even has a built-in alarm clock. All features are controlled through seven independent buttons, and show up on the frame’s 7-inch 480 x 234 LCD display.

Edge Technology Corp. has introduced a new 12-inch Digital Photo Frame with a twist: this one packs an MP3 music player so users can have their favorite music accompany their digital photos.

The 12-inch Digital Picture Frame with MP3 Player offers an 800 by 600 pixel resolution, and supports media cards and USB flash drives: user just plug in their digital media and pictures begin to appear on the screen. The frame enables users to choose between transitions effects and music selections; the picture frame can also be connected to a TV or monitor to display image content on a larger screen without using a computer.

PhotoVu Debuts 22-Inch LCD Photo Frame

Digital picture frame maker PhotoVu keeps expending its horizongs—literally. Today, the company announced the availability of its PV2265w 22-inch widescreen digital picture frame. The LCD display sports a 1,680 by 1,050 pixel 16:10 widescreen resolution, and offers a customizable picture frame and matboard to complement your images, your decor, or both. The 22-inch model follows on the 19-inch photo frame the company launched last July.

"This is clearly the world’s premium digital picture frame," said PhotoVu’s Robert Jordan, in a statement. "Our first large wide format digital frame, the PV1965w, has been very well received and we expect the PV2265w to be ‘the’ digital picture frame gift for the 2007 holiday season."

PhotoVu Introduces 19-Inch Widescreen Frame

Art aficionados will cringe at the thought of this, but consider: You can drop a thousand dollars on a piece of art, or you can drop a thousand dollars on a frame instead – and display whatever art and pictures you want for free. That’s the allure of PhotoVu’s new 19-inch widescreen digital picture frame, which has a price and frame size that put it right up there with small works of art.

At $1199, the PV1965w isn’t going to save you any money on enlargements at the photo lab, but it just might impress guests as much as a quality Monet reproduction. If your guests are nerds, they might be doubly impressed when your reveal the tech behind the frame.

The Digital Picture Frame: All Grown Up

If the novelty of watching a slideshow of family photos on a tiny digital photo frame just isn’t doing it for you anymore, it may be time for an upgrade. Forget four by six inches, these things are into monitor territory now. Smartpants, maker of a full line of digital frames, announced their 15-inch model on Friday.
