NuTouch offers up finger-friendly 7-inch digital photo frame

If you're not snoozin' by the end of this one, clearly you haven't been paying attention to just how many humdrum digiframes have been pumped out over the past six months or so. Nevertheless, NuTouch's 7-inch Touch Frame does manage to stand out somewhat in the legions of mediocre alternatives, as the sleek, glossy black frame gets complemented with an array of touch-sensitive controls, built-in stereo speakers and integrated MP3 player. The panel packs a 800 x 480 resolution, and furthermore, you'll find 128MB of storage, a multicard reader, internal battery, clock / calendar functions and USB connectivity. Still, we can't help but balk at the £139 ($273) price tag -- then again, we are dealing with the declining-by-the-second greenback here.

Stop it with the over sized bezels! Instead of dead plastic, fill the space with more screen or just resize the bezel.

Hello! You're missing the whole point! Picture frames aren't for decoration!

Wait...

So, we're supposed to smear our greasy fingerprints all over a picture frame now?

That was my first thought.

No no, and one more no just for clarity's sake.
1. I don't think smudges on a frame look that nice. Not in the mood to wipe the screen all the time.
2. Ridiculous pricing very very also ran specs besides the touchscreen.

Throw in some other features (maybe Bluetooth w/ A2DP), more flash memory built in, USB OTG (not mentioned), and it might be closer to a correct price for me. IDWOOT

Throw in another $25 and you can upgrade to a whole 2GB of storage, a QWERTY keyboard, and 802.11g... But you have to buy that one from Asus, not NuTouch.

I misread "NoTouch offers up finger-friendly"... shame it's NuTouch.

I found it for £80 (or $157) in the UK on the day this thread was written, by -play-ing around on Google.

I bought this frame a few days ago at Best Buy for $99

Why can't someone come up with a pic frame that can connect to wifi/lan and display images from my configurable (picasa or phobucket) album so my parents who hate PC can view my latest album without going to the PC. Better yet why not stream videos directly from the web.

Oh, It is touch sensitive key instead of touch screen. Iggy, you are lucky to buy it so cheap.Considering the resolution of 800x480 pixels (not 480x234 pixels for analogue TFT panel ), it is the digital TFT panel...very expensive actually.

However, Do people really like operating on the touch key instead of doing on the handy remote control ?

Here we would like to recommend you our unique digital photo frame with radio, thermometer,calendar and alarm clock; Unlike other mini digital frames, this one is very user-friendly, you just need to press one button once to enable/disable the display of "temperature+calendar+clock".
