That said, if you're of the social media generation, there's little use for it since I'd just tag you on Facebook. A shame though, since this probably makes rather nice prints and Facebook only has atrociously compressed images that are have just enough detail for you to realize that you're looking at a photo. Flickr's a lot nicer on that front though, but it's not really social media. ]]>Oct 24th 2009 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/
stop adding buzzwords to the generation. its GENERATION-Y. not social media gen, not google gen. just Gen y.

whats facebook have to do with this? the reason they added a printer is because printers take up space and dont look good, this makes it more of decoration around the house. idiot. ]]>Oct 24th 2009 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/
My point is that looking good isn't the only point of this thing - there were originally intended synergies from combining a printer and photo album - namely that you can make prints for your friends after viewing them, BUT people who use Facebook would not find this as useful as some one who invites their relatives over for tea. . Start listening and stop insulting. ]]>Oct 24th 2009 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/
It's such a waste. Even baby boomers have better quality photos. Facebook is the worst thing to happen to photography since... well ever.]]>Oct 24th 2009 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/
While we're callng Gen Y the "social media" generation, we might as well start calling Gen X the "tool' generation. Sure, a lot of people over the age of 20 are tools but i'm pretty sure they all aren't.

The product definately falls under the "intereting idea, but i doubt i'd actually ever buy one" for me.

What they should do is build a digital photoframe with a built in scanner. You could scan photos and have them displayed without needing to boot up the pc. If they managed to make it look good, it'd be something i'd probably buy one day.

The reason is simple; my family, my elderly grandparents, my uncles, aunts, etc DON'T use Facebook, they don't use social-media sites. I also have friends that don't use social-media sites as well.

And the only way for them to see pictures is to show them via a physical print. If my parents or grandparents wast to see the latest pictures of their grandchildren/great-grandchildren I need to send them prints.

This frame/printer obviously bridges the gap between digital and physical.]]>Oct 24th 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/Oct 24th 2009 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/Oct 24th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/Oct 25th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/Oct 24th 2009 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/24/sonys-s-frame-dpp-f700-digiframe-printer-hybrid-hitting-ameri/

I don't get this. Why try to be both? I'd rather just get a real quality printer if I was that into printing my own photos... And then buy 6 regular frames for the price of a digital frame.]]>Oct 24th 2009 5:39PM
