Philips launches trio of new Digital PhotoFrames, plans Christmas edition

Philips certainly is making good use of the spotlight provided over in Berlin, and while we've seen quite the array of LCDs emerge from the firm, up next is a trio (plus a limited edition tagalong) of smaller displays aimed at living room tables. The 5.6-inch Digital PhotoFrame touts a panel capable of displaying 140ppi, while the 7- and 10-inch iterations get powered by an integrated rechargeable battery and tout enough internal memory "to store 1,000 digital images." Furthermore, pictures can be loaded up through your USB-equipped Mac / PC, or you can upload directly from CompactFlash, Memory Stick, MSPro / MSDuo, xD, SD, SDHC, and MMC cards. Lastly, Philips will be offering up a Christmas-themed version of the 10-inch digiframe to grab the eyes of desperate holiday shoppers, but unfortunately, the outfit failed to provide release dates or pricing information for us to mull over.

I've always wanted one of these. I even saw how to create one in MAKE magazine. Have prices come down enough to make these reasonable?

I bought one from Philips, and my only recommendation is: do not buy it!

1. software is a piece of "crap", it doesn't even recognize my local harddrive, i've to copy picture to a usb stick to add them to the frame

2. the software modifies your original images w/o asking! (changes exif information!!! be warned!)

3. frame navigation: sucks, 5 clicks to start a slideshow

4. local languages: german has more french than german, even english is wrong, messages cut off

5. auto on doesnt work, auto off works sometimes

...never ever again a photo frame from Philips for me...
