Up until now, we'd have to say that Sony's
WiFi-enabled VAIO CP1 is the most attractive
digital photo frame we've ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. And quite honestly, it's still probably the sexiest in terms of, well, sheer sexy. But Sanyo's latest rival is cute in its own way, as the HNV-M70 ALBO packs a retro motif that anyone fond of
The Jetsons will adore. Specs wise, we're looking at an overly glossy 7-inch LCD (800 x 480 resolution), 256MB of internal memory, 802.11b/g WiFi, WinCE 5.0 behind the scenes, an IR sensor, RSS / e-mail reader, automatic screen rotation, a multicard reader and a multimedia player for good measure. Users can also load up pictures stored on Picasa or add in captions and e-mail to grandparents for maximum enjoyment. Sanyo's set to start selling these in Japan (in black or green) next month for ¥40,000 ($423), but you can take an early look thanks to a bevy of hands-on shots linked below.

Sexy!
Wouldn't mind something like that
yeah i love that win ce
I do like the design but I have to admit I'd have zero use for something like this.
If it was more about the multimedia and less about the photo frame (?) it would be an awesome desktop TV/entertainment center replacement.
For the price, just got buy an eee PC, put it on your mantle and call that a digiframe. You can even brag about the awesome keyboard and internet capabilities. ;-)
looks like a TELEAVIA 1957 - well done Sanyo!

Chumby is much cheaper.
"Sexy"? Really? Whatever turns you on...
Annoyingly as they add more functions to a device the price grows exponentially not because of the price of the hardware but because of all the licenses, sigh
