HP trots out 10.4-inch df1000 / 3.5-inch df300a1 digiframes

Don't look now, but HP just got official with two new digital photo frames that could barely be any further apart in terms of size. On the small side, we've got the 3.5-inch df300a1, which rocks a 320 x 240 resolution display (with a 400:1 contrast ratio) and has room for up to 45 pictures on the internal memory. If that's not enough, users can load up additional images by way of an SD / SDHC / MMC slot, and while the AC / USB power options are dandy, the 2-hour battery life on the rechargeable cell within is super-fine. Sitting tight on the other extreme is the 10.4-inch df1000, with 512MB of inbuilt storage (and its own USB port), a 800 x 600 resolution panel, two interchangeable frame mats, dual stereo speakers and support for video playback. You'll be looking at $59 for the little guy, $219 for the big one.

Wow... the lady in that photo looks battered/scary or a hybrid combination of both. I thought it was a Jellico cat for a second.

It's been 7 years. CAN WE please have an OLED digi-frame now? What is the deal? Why do they keep pushing these old designs (for the same price)?

OMG who let Michael Jackson near that kid...

Finally a photo-frame that you don't have to squint to look at. Oh wait they've shrunk the photo into a corner and added in a few other features that most people already have devices for (see: calender, alarm clock) My bad.

It's been 7 years. Can we have a touch screen and wireless already. These would make excellent controllers and viewers for consolidated media and house systems.

Engadget: you are hurting AMERICA when you post these rediculous "reviews" of digiframes. It is time to grow a sack and start REVIEWING them for what they are: bloated, shameful, crapware intended for walmart shelves & technically inept grandma and grandpa.

It's high time to demand BETTER from the companies that apparently don't understand their digital frames suck.

wifi. rss readers. browser based interface. touchscreen. It is not effing rocketscience.
