Microsoft entices beta testers with Windows Media Center update {Engadget}
Apr 19th 2007 8:35PM Perhaps while they're at it, they'd care to fix Vista Media Center's absolutely nonsense handling of video thumbnails/album art. Yes, I certainly ENJOY waiting 2+ minutes when opening either videos or albums menu for you to load thumbnails/art that have already previously been generated/cached, and, in the case of videos, regenerating half the thumbnails for no reason.
And this is on a local drive. God help you if you're trying to do it over a network.
Pandigital's PAN-150 digiframe hits the 15-inch mark {Engadget}
Apr 18th 2007 1:33AM A 15" monitor simply displays a signal sent to it from an external source. A digital photo frame has to not only store images/video, but read them from memory, process and format them for display and THEN send them to the display. Add to the monitor the cost of storage, processor/decoder, card reader/input, audio out as well as a remote control and the price looks a lot less unreasonable.
It's not as though they took an old 15" monitor, did up a nice frame for it, and bumped up the price by 200%.
