T-Mobile's CAMEO frame shows holiday snaps while you're still taking them

It's been nearly a year since Parrot announced its DF7700 GPRS-endowed picture frame, said to possess the mystical ability to pull photographs straight out of the ether. Now T-Mobile has pledged to bring Parrot's magic frame to the US as the CAMEO, a $100 device that, when coupled with a $10/month service fee, can be the recipient of picture-bearing messages. When you get bored with that feature (or that fee), there's a mini-USB port plus slots for SD/MMC cards that will enable it to accept pics in a more traditional manner. Its 7-inch screen has a 720 x 480 resolution and is surrounded by an interchangeable leather border guaranteed to look cheap in any decor -- not just those with golden mirrors astride marble mantelpieces.

Why cant they just put in Wi-Fi and have frames pull pictures from thin air that ways for free, from any website of my choice....

Where can i find this "air" that "ways for free"?

That's some tight stitching! Nothing says hip like white thread through pleather.

pleather... unfortunately no, it is the real skin of an unfortunate individual who no doubt went through a terrifying ordeal and was then finally murdered.

mmmmmm, cheeseburgers

Do not take on honeymoon.

Just sayin...

[Crashnet @ Oct 6th 2008 2:48PM]

Or... the bachelor party.

Got that Cubicle -- no cameras !

Sounds nice. Especially the GPRS. Now you can take photos of your new baby and have grandma's picture frame automatically show new pictures. I can see this totally becoming the gift for some computer illiterate people this Christmas.

Just what everyone needs, another reason to give a phone company more recurring revenue they don't deserve. God forbid the device share the internet connection your already paying for at home.
