Epson unleashes PictureMate Show photo frame that's also a printer
Epson's just kicked out another in the PictureMate series, and if you're into home printing of family memories, you'll probably want to take heed. The PictureMate Show is a compact printer of super high quality (5,760 x 1,440) 4 x 6-inch photos in about 37 seconds. It also doubles as a photo frame, with the 7-inch, WVGA tilt display on the front of the unit. Anyone who's spent any considerable time with a printer at home trying to print photos knows that the main concerns are always speed and quality of the final product, so it's nice to see that Epson's got its priorities straight here. You can grab up the PictureMate Show now for $299 -- and the full press release is after the break.
Epson's PictureMate Charm is the cutest photo printer we ever did see
Epson's PictureMate line is one with a long-standing history, but as with most everything else in consumer electronics, the latest in the lineup seems to have shrunk. The appropriately named PictureMate Charm is a kinda-sorta portable printing solution, delivering 4- x 6-inch color prints in as little as 37 seconds. The mini printer also boasts a 2.5-inch LCD, a multicard reader, optional Bluetooth support (via a separate adapter) and room for either 150 glossy sheets or 100 matte sheets of 4- x 6-inch paper. It'll ship next week a buck-fifty, but the replacement ink and sheet packs will probably drive you into bankruptcy.
