Not that we'd expect any reputable
digital picture frame manufacturer to consort with a real, live hand model, but we've gotta hand it to Giant International for discovering this particularly unnatural, eerily glowing appendage to point vaguely at its new Intouch IT7150. Lucky for us, the device in question is not at all cheap and uninviting, featuring a 7-inch 800 x 480 LCD touchscreen, 802.11b/g WiFi, USB to PC connection cable and the standard complement of memory card slots. What makes this particularly fun is vTuner support, which allows for play back of 11,000 radio and TV stations (primarily public access and other undesirables on the TV side), in addition to the increasingly standard FrameChannel service for photo sharing and RSS subscriptions. There's also a built-in rechargeable battery for about 1.5 hours of portable use. At $349, you're certainly paying a pretty penny for all these good times, but if vTuner isn't your bag, you can drop that support and pick up the frame for $299.

What? No disembodied hand?
That was the whole selling point for me!
They just lost a customer. Hmph.
and it glows too, bummer
ay-yo, that's pretty fly...
Looks pretty good. =]
after they sell a couple of these, i'm sure they will be able to afford a hand model... $300?
Is the digital picture frame business really this big?
I keep only a set few pictures frames that I only put the important (family/friends) in. Then the loads of other pictures are just online and on my computer for people to browse if they like.
This is just the start of the touch screen "photo frames," which will eventually become a smart controller for your home.
"but if vTuner isn't your bag"
You mean "but if vTuner isn't your bag of hurt" :D
Crap! I really wanted that hand too.
Its a best practice to stay away from glowing hands unless you have a Geiger counter.
Apparently someone likes to play with layer styles. And apparently that person should be working at Arby's.
I think the more likely situation is they suck at photoshop and weren't able to crop the hand off of a white background onto a black background, so they just added a glow to cover it up!
-Double-Click layer
-Select Outer Glow
-Leave it at the shitty defaults
@Lowest Ranked:
That's a layer style
Yes, I believe thats what you stated in your original post.
As good as it may look if you look at the price does it make sense to buy this frame. Why not simply buy a used laptop and enclose it in a shadow box:

So if one was interested in a disembodied hand where might we go?
It will be nice when someone hacks it and you can use it to add a nice extra touchscreen monitor to your desktop, instead of spending the better part of $1000 on that Art Lebedov thing.
It would be nice when this bugger busts out of Korea -

ummmmm..... sticky fingerprints all over my beautiful photos :(
wow, 299 bucks, smart consumers would rather buy 5 pieces of 7" LCD digital photo picture frames with resolution 800x480.
