Parrot offers up $450 Andr�e Putman-designed digiframe

Remember that Andrée Putman-designed digital photo frame that was showcased in the UK earlier this year? Even if not, Parrot would like to remind you of this apparently exquisite device, which features commonplace luxuries like a 7-inch 720 x 480 resolution display, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, an SD / MMC card slot, an undisclosed amount of internal memory and USB connectivity. Oh, and did we mention the $449.99 price? Yeah, there's that, too. Heard enough, haven't you? (Psst... it ships on July 28th in the US.)

Are the tokens provided to play mega-checkers on the box?

Let me see if I get this right, we've got a black digiframe with a large black matte around it and banded by . . . is that clear acrylic or stainless steel? And it took a famous designer to come up with that?

Famous?

I thought this look went out in the 80's...

[bolezhinkov @ Jul 16th 2008 2:21PM]

turns out the 80s are cool again, for all the kids that werent there to see how much they really did suck.

I know, its bumming me out as much as you.

Hooo My God! The world is getting so gay!

15-year old kids making icons on sites like crystalxp, deviantart and wincustomize, come up with better looking frames than this.

It seems like the designer aspect of this frame is not the frame but the design of the menus and programming. True the frame can do with some work but hey, you can just break it down and rebuild it how you want to no?

QUESTION!!

Will it run Ubuntu?

[NutMac @ Jul 16th 2008 5:56PM]

Why not some features match the high-end price? 720x480 for $450? Only SD/MMC slot (what about SDHC, CF, MS)? No WiFi?

Enough with the widescreen frames. They're annoying as hell in use--give me a 4:3 frame which matches my photo sizes.
