Wait...why would I want to do that?



Now if I could make a picture frame in my parents' house rotate through recent photos I've sent it...that would be useful (and they'd stop emailing me all the time).]]>Jan 4th 2006 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/Jan 4th 2006 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/Jan 4th 2006 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/Jan 4th 2006 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/


I was at Brookstone and they had ones with tiny, low res screens. The color reproduction was terrible and you could see the thing refreshing. Oh, and they were $200-300.



This makes no sense considering that 15" LCD's start around $130. Surely a screen half that size with a card reader and some linux-based display software can't cost THAT much to engineer!



Personally, I bought a handful of Virgin Webplayers on ebay for $50-70 each, replaced the included OS with Windows 98 Lite, added a free screensaver that reads Jpegs from a directory, and used a cheap usb flash drive for photos. Total cost? $70-100



The unit has a MUCH larger screen (not sure how big, but i'd guesstimate 7-8") and works great. The Chinese have managed to drive prices down on EVERYTHING due to their cheap labor... when are they gonna jump on the digital picture frame bandwagon?]]>Jan 4th 2006 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/


Like a CLOCK or calender mode, or even alarm clock with MP3 capabilites.



Mmm... mewzak to your photos... yum. ]]>Jan 4th 2006 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/samsungs-digital-photo-frame/

That photo frame may be one of the cheapest I've seen, but it's probably the ugliest as well.]]>Jan 4th 2006 1:52PM
