Digital picture frames have long since moved passed being simple photo frames, and it looks like an increasing number are now pushing photos all the way to end of their list of features. One such device is this so-called Mojito WiFi display from Blue Lounge, which will handle photos and videos just fine, but is primarily designed to pull content from Facebook, Twitter and other social media (in addition to news and weather). That's then displayed in your "LifeStream," which can apparently be customized to your liking, and browsed with the included remote if you don't feel like letting everything cycle through (no touchscreen here). Still no firm word on availability, but the 7-inch display will supposedly demand $299 whenever it rolls out.
Doesn't talk about a battery/portability or release date, more expensive than Sony's Dash. Moving on...
If that bottom part could become a physical keyboard............
I don't care what this topic is about, I'm trying my new Android Engadget app, and I'm loving it.
I've always thought that these types of devices were interesting on a gadget level, but I just can't see myself ever sitting down in front of one and reading Twitter updates.
How can such a simple device be as expensive as a netbook? It doesn't make any sense. A netbook has a larger display, HDD storage, wifi, BT, USB ports, card reader, a battery, a webcam, speakers, touchpad and even a keyboard.
Looks like a mini iMac lol
This product seems to be ahead of the curve. It seems that all digital photo frames will eventually have the wi-fi capability to grab FB and Twitter updates. From the comments above, it doesn't seem like the public is quite ready to pay a premium price for some of these features.
