Parrot launches 7-inch Bluetooth digital picture frame

by Omar McFarlane, posted Jan 7th 2007 at 1:12PM

Parrot -- well known for its array of wireless devices -- is announcing a Bluetooth Photo Viewer for CES. The frame, which can be dressed up to hide that tech-look synonymous with these kinds of gadgets, features a 7-inch screen with 720 x 480 pixel resolution, and 128 MB of internal memory (capable of holding up to 500 pics). Also of note is the bump to Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (BIP, OPP, and FTP profiles) from the Bluetooth 1.2 used in the previous 3-inch version, which is a more than welcome improvement considering the competition.

It boggles my mind why a manufacturer would ever use a 720x480 resolution on a digital photo frame when 99.99% of all digital cameras use a 3:2 aspect ratio sensor (which would be 640x480 in this case). I think the Phlips digital photo frame has the same resolution.
