Sony brings WiFi-enabled VAIO CP1 digiframe to the States

We had a hunch that Sony's VGF-CP1 was just too svelte to stay locked in Japan forever, and now that CEDIA is upon us, we're finally getting the news we've been waiting for: it's coming to the United States. Rechristened the VAIO CP1 WiFi photo frame, this device features a 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution display, support for Google Picasa streaming, 128MB of internal storage space, an SD / Memory Stick / CF multicard reader and an RSS reader to keep you abreast on the latest happenings. Furthermore, it touts built-in stereo speakers and an internet radio player, not to mention the digital / analog clock. Check it in mid-October for three bills.

the entire sum total of comments from all posts on the first page is now, by my count, 64. A record low? and half of those are in the one post that isn't yours, my man big D.

how much does Sony pay you guys per post?

by the way, is that not the most fake and contrived, on many levels, picture of all time?

[Thi mam(kris120890) @ Sep 3rd 2008 7:46PM]

Is it not because its cedia 08 and sony and most other consumer electronic companies are there. Your comment seems pointless really.

[phanbouy @ Sep 3rd 2008 7:48PM]

yeah, yer right... huge fucking stream of posts with 2 comments apiece FTW!!!

[Huh? @ Sep 3rd 2008 7:46PM]

3 Bills? WTF

[Mitchell @ Sep 3rd 2008 7:48PM]

Six Sony articles on the front page, couldn't you have summed them up into one article?

[Endeavour @ Sep 3rd 2008 7:58PM]

Yeah, 6 posts for every Apple device (not including Apple Store downtimes), 1 post for each any-other-brand device... and 1 post for every 6 Sony devices. Seems fair.

hey isn't that McNulty from The Wire?

[gabe @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:11PM]

does look like him...

aren't they pretty far back into the boat for her to catch something with the line pulling at that angle?

[Aristophanes @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:54PM]

Does it come with the picture of the child reeling in an endangered tuna?

The happiness of those people on the picture somehow offends me, even though it's acted.

I don't understand what so new about this. The Kodak photoframe has it all and on top a touch screen. What's even more interesting: what will be the next step? It's here:

"Daddy, I love holding your rod!"

Sorry... extremely bad taste

[wiremu @ Sep 5th 2008 5:37AM]

So true... that is the most awfully contrived picture. I figure he would have pushed her aside, sharpish, to get a hold on "his rod" because with that bend, that is a big fish, and her elbows would get ripped off.

i love the idea of someone coming up with an inexpensive handheld photo viewer (with no ac brick) that's comfortable to hold and look through a bunch of pics. i find the desk picture frame models irritating... it's like watching a slow commercial. something in 5x7 that can replace a photo album with a decent gui - similar to the iphone.

but $300 for this toy? wow. i might give them $80 for it as a xmas stuffer at best. sony's been drinking lead-tainted water - again.
