Pandigital's AT&T-lovin' Photo Mail LED frame hands-on

It looks like pretty much every other 8-inch digital photo frame on the market, but unlike most others (the Cameo notwithstanding), Pandigital's Photo Mail LED frame can accept emailed photos over AT&T's network. Unlike the aforesaid Cameo, however, you're not asked to pay a monthly fee to keep this one online (it ships with 300 photo downloads, with extra bundles available when you need them), and the representative we spoke with hinted that this one might just be the first of many more with AT&T in different shapes and sizes. The user interface was simple enough to navigate, and we were told that photos emailed to the frame actually hit a linked Snapfish account first (where the high resolution version is stored), resized, and then beamed down to the frame. Have a closer look below if you're so inclined.

Get an iGala and plug Harman Kardon's sound sticks to it.
That's the future of digiframes (if they've got one)

OMG I THOUGH THIS DIGITAL FRAME SH*T DIED WITH THE '00s. They are so unnecessarily expensive & NOT a good alternative to just a photo frame & pic. Hmmm $5 for a frame & a timeless pic OR $100 for A frame & a billion crappy pics??

I think it's time for al these companies producing photoframes to start hiring some swedish or italian designers to come up with some good looking frames. It's just incredible how ugly or boring these products look, I wouldn't disgrace my livingroom with something like this.

Looking at the photo frame email interface, doesn't look like it'll do automatic photo downloads like I had thought so not so good for the parents. I think it's an untapped opportunity for someone to make a photo frame that updates on the fly via DropBox or something similar. Plus, there's no reason for these to cost so much. It's not even OLED.
