Digital Foci rolls out Image Moments 6 digiframe

Although the barrage of new digital cameras have (rightfully) claimed the limelight at PMA, Digital Foci is looking to grab your attention with its budget-priced Image Moments 6. The IMT-062 digiframe sports a downsized 5.7-inch 640 x 480 resolution LCD (compared to its eight-inch sibling), brushed chrome facade, USB port, audio output, integrated speaker, built-in timer, and an obligatory automatic slideshow mode. As for compatibility, you'll have no qualms shoving your CF, MicroDrive, SD, MMC, MS, MSPro, xD, or MSDuo cards directly into the device, and you can also fiddle with the transition effects and slideshow intervals to keep things fresh. Furthermore, the frame can reportedly play back MPEG 1/2/4 videos or MP3-backed photo shows as well, and the wireless remote will allow you to handle the action from the comforts of your recliner. Sadly, you'll have to wait until June to pick this one up, but it'll only run you $159 when it comes time to buy.

640 x 480 resolution for a 5.7-inch photo frame is quite good. The article didn't mention whether it is a digital or analog panel. Maybe you can research that.

Digital Photo Frames are cool, but I say keep them simple and low cost for the masses.

Don't over-feature them to the point where a guy can't buy one for his mom, you know? (hint hint)

-or at least keep a simplified line of them.

You are totally right. In my opinion the best photo frames are those which are really PHOTO frames and just display photos (as opposed to most photo frames, or as I call it, multimedia frames, which are sold). Who needs a calendar in a time of mobile phones and notebook? Who wants to watch movies on his frame when he has a large screen notebook or a DVD player? Who listens to music on his frame when he can have much better quality with other devices?
