Because of that, you don't need HDMI, video playback, WiFi and 101 other stupid items. Just a good looking frame, good quality screen, slick (and simple) UI and a slot for holding the more popular memory cards. You don't even need internal memory for gods sake as SD cards can be picked up for less than £5. I've even gone so far as to resize my pictures in Picasa to the size of the picture frame screen so that I can fit hundreds on a cheapo 512MB card.

All the other fluff simply bumps up the price of a frame to prices which make absolutely no sense. I bought a lovely £50 Sony picture frame and it's perfect. Yes, the WiFi version would have been nice but I simply couldn't justify coughing up 1.5 times more money just so I could have random Flickr pictures or avoid hauling my ass from the frame to the computer when I wanted to update the pictures on the card.

Bah, I sound like a luddite but is the extra stuff this gives you worth paying £100 more??]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/Jul 22nd 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/
When exporting from Picasa, is it easy to select all horizontal or all vertical photos from a date range? If not, do you wish it was?]]>Jul 22nd 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/arguably, nobody "needs" that. it's a niche luxury item, at best.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/
Previously I used to throw every single picture I had up onto it by exporting and resizing everything I had in Picasa, viewing all the files in Windows Explorer in details view, right clicking on the coloumns and then "More" and then adding "Dimensions".

After that, I'd then sort by dimensions and delete everything that wasn't landscape (as they'd be grouped together).

A right pain the the backside!]]>Jul 23rd 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/
Maybe someone should focus on a plasma-style solution in order to garner the off-axis view performance.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/

$227 FFS!!! You could feed 100 starving children for a month for that price! ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/onkyo-busts-out-hdmi-connected-10-1-inch-picture-frame/Jul 22nd 2010 2:27PM
