<div style="text-align: left;">We've heard <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/android,photoframe">promises</a> of an Android-based photo frame as far back as May of this year, but it looks like the folks at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/parrot">Parrot</a> are now finally set to deliver with their new Grande Specchio designer frame. As you might be able to surmise from words like "grande" and "designer," however, this one doesn't come cheap (a hefty $650), but you do of course get quite a bit for all that extra cash. That includes a large 10.4-inch touchscreen that doubles as a mirror (on purpose), WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and SD card slot for expansion and, of course, Android hiding under Parrot's custom interface. Unfortunately, it's not clear if you can actually use the frame as full-blown Android device, but you do at least have easy access to a web browser, and Parrot is even promising to develop some apps specifically for the frame -- though it curiously says they'll likely be limited since there is "<span class="blueLinks">no easy way to get them installed on the hardware." Look for more details when Parrot officially launches this one on November 17th. <br />

Hey, if you can take Google's open source OS for mobile telephones and chunk it into a netbook, then why not <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/frame">digital photo frames</a>? Fujitsu and Japan's Macnica have teamed up on what they're calling a "Software Platform for Home Network Digital Photo Frames" based on Google's Android. In other words, it's a software platform for home network digital photo frames based on Google's Android. Uh, riiight. The prototype frame above was on display in Japan yesterday running slideshows off a standard <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dlna">DLNA</a> network. Honestly, we don't care what OS is running at the core of those cheap, off-brand digital photo frames cluttering big box shelves every holiday -- just make the navigation intuitive and we're happy. Android seems like a good (and free!) start along the road to standardization.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/fujitsu-and-macnica-embedding-android-into-digital-photo-frames/">Fujitsu and Macnica embed Android into digital photo frames -- WalMart, you listening?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 14 May 2009 05:41:00 EST.
