Indifferent souls may have no qualms just snapping up the first digiframe they see, but that sect isn't the target market for Parrot's latest. The Andrée Putman-designed device is being shown around the UK at the moment, and aside from boasting a 7-inch display, a glossy black motif, rear-mounted buttons, auto-rotation, 10MB of built-in storage, an SD expansion slot and integrated Bluetooth (but no WiFi), you also get to hand over £250 to take it home. Right now, the piece is only available in London's Few and Far store, but the company may try to roll it out nationwide if demand necessitates. Check it out on video in the read link below.

We can't say we've really spent any huge amount of time wondering just how converged kitchen devices can become, but apparently, the designers at Pandigital have. Announced today, the Kitchen HDTV / Digital Cookbook / Digital Photo Frame (really, that's the name) stays true to itself in three big ways: acting as a 15-inch 720p HDTV (ATSC / NTSC tuner included), a digital cookbook (with pre-loaded recipes and space for more) and a digital photo frame. Packed within, you'll find half a gigabyte of memory, a built-in alarm clock and an integrated 6-in-1 media card reader. And considering all that sauce you'll be slinging, you'll be thrilled to know that it's sealed with glass and boasts interchangeable faceplates to fit varying moods. Heck, this thing even handles Motion JPEG, MPEG4 and AVI files -- not a bad way to spice up your kitchen (and spend $399.99), eh?

As if there was any doubt that the world's first WiFi-enabled, touchscreen digital photo frame wasn't coming to market, Shogo has admitted that said device is actually official and will be landing in the States soon. Unfortunately, you'll have to save up $299 in order to claim one as your own, but it will be readily available in US retail outlets sometime this Spring.

The last time Smartparts hit us with CES-related photo frame PR, we pretty much told the company to stop wasting everyone's time and either go big or go home -- and it looks like they decided to go big, because this year we're being treated to the world's biggest digital photo frame, the 32-inch SP3200. The 16:9 frame sports a 1366x768 resolution and Smartpart's OptiPix tech, but until we hear some pricing info we're not going to be convinced that frame sizes haven't hit the point of diminishing returns. Smartparts also says it'll be rolling out the SP8PRT frame with built-in photo printer, but it's not giving up any other details just yet -- but we'll get it out of 'em in Vegas, just you wait.

Just as soon as Digital Foci introduced a trio of digital photo frames, along comes Polaroid with a 7-incher of its own. The XSJ-00750M rocks a 480 x 234 widescreen panel, 400:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, USB 2.0 connectivity and a multicard reader that handles SD, MMC, CF, MS, MSPro and MSDuo. Aside from sifting through your JPEG collection, it also plays back MP3 files, and just in case you've got a thing for varying colors, you'll be delighted to know that this one comes with black, white and wood colored frames. Grab one next month (if you're in Japan, that is) for ¥17,000 ($149).

Some nine months after Digital Foci unveiled the IMT-062, the firm is gearing up for CES 2008 with a trio of newcomers (entire family shown). Up first is the revamped Image Moments 6 (IMT-063), which sports a 5.7-inch 640 x 480 LED-backlit panel, a two-tone polished chrome finish and built-in stereo speakers. Moving on up, we've got the Image Moments 8 (IMT-083), which ups the ante with a 800 x 600 resolution panel and a 500:1 contrast ratio, and just in case that's not enough screen real estate for you, there's the 15-inch IMT-153, which packs a XGA (1,024 x 768) resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, an AV input, interchangeable frame / mat and VESA mountability. The trifecta includes 200MB of storage, USB 2.0 connectivity and a multicard reader that handles a smorgasbord of formats, and all three should be available in March for $149, $199 and $399, respectively.

Granted, you may have assumed that an iPod wouldn't be caught dead snuggling with a digital photo frame, but strange though it may be, that assumption has just been proven wrong. Mustek's PF-i700 inelegantly combines Apple's darling with a 7-inch digiframe, giving house guests a perfect opportunity to squint at the iPod's screen rather than focusing on what's really important. Nevertheless, the unit sports a 480 x 243 resolution panel, stereo speakers, a headphone jack, USB port and support for SD, xD, MMC and Memory Stick / MS Pro cards. 'Course, you can purportedly play back videos and photo slideshows stored on your iPod too, but you won't be snagging one until next March when it lands for $129.99.

Although this item doesn't fall into the digital photo frame classification per se, there's plenty of bits and bytes surrounding the 5- x 7-inch photo within. This clever creation features a relatively vanilla wooden frame, a glamorous stock shot of silhouettes on a beach and numerous sticks of random access memory adorning the borders. Yes, this here frame can hold "megabytes of loving memories," but let's be honest, you're buying this for the conversation factor. Or, at least you will when it returns to stock. Of course, we're pretty sure the mildly seasoned DIY'er could assemble one of these without much fuss, so click on through for one more angle if you're ready to roll up those sleeves and get to it.

We've seen a few WiFi and RSS enabled digital photo frames from PhotoVu in the past, but they've all been overly large for our city-sized living spaces, which is why we're happy to see the somewhat more reasonable 17-inch 1765w make its debut. The 16:10 frame reads all the obvious digital camera formats, but unlike most other frames, it includes plugins for popular apps like Picasa and iPhoto that let you handle file management directly inside your photo app, instead of having to play the scale-and-export game. Like all of PhotoVu's other frames, the 1765w also features an RSS reader and web server for completely remote administration, and integration with services like Flickr, SmugMug, and .mac. Of course, all this hotness is going to cost you -- the 1765w runs a steep $699 direct from PhotoVu.

Just in case you weren't exactly keen on buying a new wallet just to get a digital photo frame built in, Emtrace is offering up the perfect alternative. The ultrathin Photoskins PS100 is skinny enough to slide right inside your wallet, and it can also be docked in a cradle and used as a "Widget-Player." Regrettably, that's all the information that's available right now, but hang tight, all the nitty-gritty details you crave should be just around the bend.

Man, if you thought drunk dialing and texting was embarrassing, just wait until Parrot releases the world's first MMS photo frame. Due before the holidays are through, the 7-inch, DF7700 display features a SIM card with dedicated call number built directly into the frame. It also touts USB and SD slots for quick image transfer as well as position and light sensors to keep photos upright and looking their best regardless of your own tragic state of disrepair. Sorry, no price or product images (that's their DF7220 up there), but we think we've captured the typical holiday break-up scenario for you above, eh?

If you're spinnin' your wheels trying to figure out exactly who cenOmax is, simmer down -- it's only a new spinoff of Lite-On, okay? Now that we've handled that, the firm's first foray into the digital photo frame arena is the seven-inch F7012A, which sports a 480 x 234 resolution panel, 400:1 contrast ratio, a USB port and a multicard reader capable of handling 15 different formats. Furthermore, this one supports MP3 playback through its built-in speakers, allows for automatic slideshows and also includes an integrated alarm / calendar. For Halloween (er, right?), the frame comes bundled with black (shown after the break) and orange clip-on frames, but users can theme it up however they like for a variety of occasions. As of now, this one's available only in Europe for £48 ($98), but we've got enough alternatives here in the US to keep our hearts from breaking.

You won't find us complaining about newcomers joining the digital photo frame biz, so it's with open arms that we welcome Transcend to the fray. Its questionably designed T.photo 710 marks the firm's first foray into this arena, and it packs a seven-inch 480 x 234 widescreen display, 1GB of internal memory, support for "ambient background music," and a multicard reader that plays nice with SD, SDHC, MMC, MS and CF cards. Furthermore, you'll find USB connectivity, support for JPEG / BMP / Motion-JPG, a musical alarm clock, various holiday themes, a wireless remote and Clock / Calendar modes that can share the screen with your photos. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for a price and release date.

Not satisfied with just unleashing a pair of HD DVD players for the European crowd, Toshiba has now announced a forthcoming digital photo frame for the same set that does a whole lot more than shuffle through old photo albums. The DPF7XSE boasts a seven-inch 800 x 480 resolution panel, dual one-watt stereo speakers, SD / MMC / CF / Memory Stick support, USB 2.0 connectivity, and 256MB of built-in storage space. Most notable, however, is the supported format list, which includes JPEG, MP3, WMA, MPEG4, and DivX. Currently, Tosh hasn't released details surrounding a price for the fall-bound frame, but users picking this one will reportedly find an infrared remote and USB cable bundled in.

Not that anyone was impatiently refreshing Engadget in anticipation of this news, but Kodak just made their trio of leaked EasyShare cameras official. We mean really, really, super official with pricing and dates as opposed to the information gleaned off their site courtesy of Google's cache. The $300 V1253, $250 V1233, and $300 Z812 IS are all available now. They're also launching their $100 Easyshare HDTV dock with remote control for a quick and dirty TV hookup along with a 10-inch SV1011 digital picture frame with 800 x 480 resolution for $200. See, you don't know everything.
