Any usual "Photo Frame" + Memory Stick = FREE (isn't this the point)]]>Mar 21st 2010 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/
You almost might think that, until you meet people like my parents. They have a beautiful 52" Samsung LCD (1080p), and a laptop. Yet despite all that, and me showing them their digicam images on either or both of those screens, they still prefer looking at printed pictures in those tiny 4" prints, or even those digital photo frames.

I don't know why anyone would ever prefer that over looking at multi megapixel images on a 1920x1080 screen, but... they're not me.]]>Mar 21st 2010 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Paul, we're not disputing the usefulness of a digi photo frame - even though it is an essentially unnecessary product, it can still be a nice way to display photos. What we're disputing is the point of having a 3g-enabled one when any household geeky enough to consider buying one would almost certainly have wifi already.]]>Mar 21st 2010 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 22nd 2010 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/The ability to remotely load images to a digiframe has been available for long time over wifi. The only way this product would make sense is if they were able to cut a deal with a carrier to provide a very low-cost, low-bandwidth data plan. Otherwise, your money is better spent setting up a basic DSL account for your grandfather and using wifi.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/

No one I know with a photo frame even uses it - they might load it up and use it for the first week or so but then it simply sits there lonely, displaying a black rectangle of non-existence yearning for the day someone turns it on again.

Say gandma lives on the east coast and gran kids live on the west. Since grandma doesn't have all day to download organize and thent transfer the photos of her grandkids. Now she can just set this thing up and poof she is recieving her grandkids flickr stream!

The ability of a photo frame to constantly have the latest photos on it with no interaction from a user seems pretty good to me.
At 6 bucks a month isn't a bad price point.]]>Mar 21st 2010 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Luckily my the people above my parent's let them use their Wifi, so they can do this for free (Kodak Easyshare 820 off Woot)]]>Mar 21st 2010 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 21st 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 22nd 2010 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/21/vizit-cellular-photo-frame-arrives-march-23rd-your-mom-cant-af/Mar 22nd 2010 1:34AM
