    PhotoVu, the same outfit that delivered a 19-inch digiframe, is now upping the ante once more with the "industry's first 22-inch high-resolution, widescreen wireless digital picture frame." This behemoth features a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution panel, built-in software for displaying RSS feeds, 300 cd/m2 brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and a USB 2.0 port for connecting a flash drive or external hard drive. Swank though it may be, the PV2265w won't run you cheap, as you'll be asked to cough up a whopping $1,299 to get this bad boy to your door.

    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.[Via FarEastGizmos]

    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.[Via TrustedReviews]

  • Philips launches trio of new Digital PhotoFrames, plans Christmas edition

    Philips certainly is making good use of the spotlight provided over in Berlin, and while we've seen quite the array of LCDs emerge from the firm, up next is a trio (plus a limited edition tagalong) of smaller displays aimed at living room tables. The 5.6-inch Digital PhotoFrame touts a panel capable of displaying 140ppi, while the 7- and 10-inch iterations get powered by an integrated rechargeable battery and tout enough internal memory "to store 1,000 digital images." Furthermore, pictures can be loaded up through your USB-equipped Mac / PC, or you can upload directly from CompactFlash, Memory Stick, MSPro / MSDuo, xD, SD, SDHC, and MMC cards. Lastly, Philips will be offering up a Christmas-themed version of the 10-inch digiframe to grab the eyes of desperate holiday shoppers, but unfortunately, the outfit failed to provide release dates or pricing information for us to mull over.Read - Philips' Digital PhotoFramesRead - Philips' Christmas-themed Digital PhotoFrame

  • Samsung lets WiFi photo frame loose in Korea

    We already heard of a WiFi-equipped Samsung photo frame hitting Europe, but it looks like the company is unsurprisingly releasing one in Korea as well, albeit with a slightly different model number. From the looks of it, however, that small distinction doesn't seem to indicate any larger changes to the frame itself, with the company's new SPF-72V model boasting the same 7-inch screen, memory card slots, USB port, RSS support, and Windows Media Player 11 interaction as the SPH-72V we saw earlier. It also packs more or less the same price, coming in at 229,000 won, or just under $250.

  • Conceptual Samsung SS 700 camera packs integrated digiframe

    While a standalone digital photo frame is certainly a novel item to have around the crib, integrating it into a pocket cam for easy portability just sounds so much more useful. Thankfully, a crafty concept designer by the name of Jin Woo Han has created the perfect mishmash of the aforementioned devices, and while we've no idea if the Samsung SS 700 will ever get legit, you can't fault a guy (or gal) for hoping. The 7.2-megapixel camera boasts a sleek, stylish design, but the standout feature is the sliding rear display that doubles as a digiframe. Heck, there's even a built-in kickstand for extended viewing. Check it out in detail after the break.[Via LetsGoDigital]

  • Seven-inch digital photo frame shootout

    Hot on the heels of the SSD shootout comes a five-man competition stocked with some of the most prolific digital photo frames on the market, and now that prices on these bad boys are dipping down from the stratosphere, there's a good chance you'd like to know which would look best in your den. Thankfully, GearDigest has taken the task upon itself to pit Kodak's EasyShare SV710, Pandigital's 7-inch Photo Frame, Philips' 7FF1CM1, Smartpart's Portable Picture And Video Player, and Westinghouse's DPF-702 against each other to see who's really the champ. After hours of viewing countless relatives and vacations of yesteryear, the group found that the obvious assumptions of "you get what you pay for" proved completely true. The four frames not labeled by Philips all featured a similar 16:9 display with a paltry 480 x 234 resolution, and while a few offered niceties not found elsewhere (Kodak's PictBridge, for instance), all of the devices were decent at best in terms of image quality -- and they all ranged from $119 to $129.95 in price. Handily snagging the gold was the $199 7FF1CM1, which upped the ante with a 720 x 480 panel and proved worthwhile if you actually want your photos to shine. But hey, it's still your dough, so do your duty and dive into the full review below before swaying one way or another.[Via DigitalMediaThoughts]

    As the barrage of new Toshiba gear continues to flow from Paris, along comes a device that we aren't used to seeing from the laptop and monitor-tilted company. The seven-inch Tekbright 7 digital photo frame sports a stylish silver bezel, a clear beveled surround, rear-mounted kickstand, 800 x 400 resolution, and a 400:1 contrast ratio. Additionally, you can load up your images via CF, SD, MMC, MS, MSPro, xD, and USB, and there's even a paltry 16MB built-in for storing the crème de la crème. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to sport any WiFi abilities or even a wireless remote, but the reasonable €139 ($186) pricetag seems to justify the omissions somewhat. More snaps after the break.

    Sure, not everybody needs 15 whole inches of picture frame, but we know your kids are particularly good looking, and could easily fill that much real estate with their shining grins. MediaStreet is offering the new 15-inch eMotion Digital Picture Frame for $298 on June 25th. There's 1024 x 768 pixels to play with, and if you get tired of showing off JPEG and BMP files, there's also support for MPEG, AVI, MP3 and WMA.

    We'll be straight with ya, Projovian's latest cubic device may have garnered rad points as a prop in a first wave MC Hammer video, but unfortunately, it falls squarely on the chintzy side of things today. Adding legitimacy to the 3D gimmick stereotype, this curious "digital photo frame" takes numerous pictures at different angles simultaneously, and subsequently presents a pseudo-3D image on the crystal stand. Of course, we'd recommend just hacking your webcam to accomplish the same thing on screen with even more detail, but feel free to hop past the jump to take a closer look at this rendition if you wish.

  • eStarling 2.0 WiFi digiframe gets larger, maintains price

    Quite a few digiframes have come and gone since eStarling's original iteration hit the market early last year, but the company is coming back swinging with a swankier, larger, and soundly priced 2.0 edition. The eStarling 2.0 WiFi digital photo frame now dons a sleek, piano black casing, a seven-inch widescreen display, 480 x 234 resolution, support for 802.11b/g, WEP, and WPA, a four-in-one multicard reader that handles MMC, MS, CF, and SD, and the obligatory Web 2.0 features that make this thing attractive. As with version one, you can still view photos from a Flickr RSS feed, and you can even email pictures in from your mobile or alternate location to give your household pets a glance at where the master's currently hanging. Notably, you will need a Windows-based computer to get things up and running, and while we've certainly seen frames with more detailed displays and classier motifs, the web-enabled WPF-187 still only costs $249.99.[Via TRFJ]

    'Twas only a matter of time before digital photo frames began creeping up in size to go toe-to-toe with our LCD monitors, and Pandigital is helping the cause with its PAN-150. The 15-inch behemoth will soon be vying for table space as it shows off your high-resolution shots and gives that bedroom LCD TV a run for its money. Specs wise, it'll reportedly sport a 1,024 x 768 resolution, 256MB of internal memory, built-in USB port, MPEG1/4, AVI, and MP3 playback support, integrated stereo speakers, and of course, the ability to play nice with SD, xD, MSPro, MSDuo, CF, and MMC flash cards. Best of all, however, isn't the stylish wood frame or the bundled bragging rights, but the respectable $299 pricetag combined with a launch date within the week.

  • Samsung debuts SPH-72H and WiFi-capable SPH-72V photo frames

    We heard tell of the SPH-72V photo frame last week, and it looks to have a buddy in the SPH-72H frame which Samsung also trotted out at CeBIT. Both frames feature 800 x 480 7-inch screens, and can handle MP3s and movie files -- in addition to the standard picture fare. Things get a teensy bit fancy with the SPH-72V, which features WiFi and can display photos off of an RSS subscription, along with Windows Media Player 11 pics, thanks to Windows Vista integration. In addition to these two, Samsung is prepping some 8 and 12-inch photo frames for later this year, but for now all we know is that the SPH-72V (or 72P, which seems to be an alternative model number for the same thing) is hitting Europe in May for €229 ($305 US) alongside the SPH-72H which will go for €179 ($238 US).

    Lots of other LCD action with Samsung today: see its new SyncMaster 961BG and 961GW high gloss black monitors, each with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time, dual-hinge stands, and the like. Samsung was gracious enough to not even mention how large these monitors are (we're gonna guess 19-inches -- any takers?), but they did tell us that their WiFi and Vista-capable photo frame has a 7-inch display. Kind of ironic, though, that they didn't post pictures of it.

  • Hands-on with the i-mate Momento 70

    Thrown together by well-traveled ODM Inventec, i-mate's new Momento series of digital picture frames break some important ground. First of all, they do WiFi -- a seemingly obvious feature for this category of devices that's inexplicably missing from a majority of the mainstream models currently in the marketplace. Next up, the Momento is among the very first commercially available devices to support Microsoft's SideShow concept for secondary displays that should (theoretically, anyway) untether all manner of information from the PCs on which it typically resides. In that respect, the Momento is very much a first-generation device -- but as a picture frame, we came into the hands-on expecting a certain level of refinement, now that they've had a few years to ripen on the vine. Does the unit deliver on its promise as a highly connected, Vista-compatible accessory? Does it deliver as a plain ol' frame, for that matter? We took the $200 Momento 70 -- the smaller of the two, clocking in at 7 inches of diagonal real estate -- for a test drive to get some answers.%Gallery-1792%

    Apparently Pandigital put up some stellar sales figures over the holidays with its foursome of video-playing digital photo frames, and now the company is raising the stakes by tossing out a 10.4-inch edition with 256MB of internal memory. The PAN10-2 features a 1,024 x 768 resolution, 350 cd/m2 brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio, and a 178-degree viewing angle. Additionally, the frame will play back MPEG 1/4 and AVI movie clips, MP3 files stored on the internal memory, and of course, roll through slideshows of your favorite galleries. You'll also get a wireless remote to control the action from afar, and if the quarter-gigabyte of built-in space isn't roomy enough for you, feel free to cram any of your SD, xD, MS, MSPro, MSDuo, CF, or MMC cards in the flash card reader for nearly limitless fun. So if you weren't able to woo your secret Santa into gifting you with a digiframe last month, you can pick up this 10.4-inch rendition for $249.99 in "mid-February."[Via PhotographyBlog]

    While most electronic photo frames these days are doing their darnedest to look just like their analog counterparts, the ePHOTOZIP DEF-080PM from ARTMU Museum of Art wears its digital-ness loud and proud. And why shouldn't it? The 8-inch screen, 128MB of built-in memory and SD/MMC or Memory Stick expansion are nothing to sneeze at, and the addition of MP3 playback and calendar functions are welcome. We really wouldn't have minded a bit of Flickr/RSS functionality in this thing, but the 250,000 won pricetag ($272 US) probably wouldn't allow such fancies anyways. The ePHOTOZIP looks to be available now -- Korea only, of course.[Via Akihabara]

    Although the built-in MP3 player on Pandigital's newest foursome of digital frames is commendable, it's certainly not a new addition, and while they lack the integrated WiFi that certain alternatives have, boasting the ability to play back full-motion MPEG-1/2/4, and AVI video along with the usual still slideshows is definitely noteworthy. The upscale digiframes come in 5.6- ($129.99), 7.0- ($149.99), 8.0- ($199.99), and 9.2-inch ($249.99) flavors, while the whole gang comes with interchangeable wood / acrylic panels to fit the surrounding decor. Loading up those YouTube-worthy masterpieces shouldn't be an issue considering the 64MB of internal memory, "multiple" USB 2.0 ports, and a 6-in-1 media card reader that plays nice with SD, xD, MS, MS Pro, CF, and MMC formats. The units also support photo transfers directly from digital cameras, and can accept all sorts of media files from USB thumb drives or nearby computers. Pandigital plans to have these in stores "for the holiday season," and considering the reasonable prices and robust feature set, we'd say those stockings have found a stuffer.[Via LetsGoDigital]

    What's IP addressable, runs Windows CE 5.0, plays MP3/WMA audio or WMV/MPEG-4 video, brings integrated stereo speakers and 3.5-mm audio jack, 64MB internal storage, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g WiFi with WEP/WPA, and can grab media from CF/SD/XD/MMC/MS memory cards, attached USB devices like your digicam or MP3 player, or streamed over the air from your PC or other UPnP capable device? No, we're not talking 'bout the latest PMP out of Korea, these are the specs for the DigitalSpectrum MF8104Premium digital picture frame. This 10.4-inch, 800x600 pixel TFT LCD frame is available in a variety of colors and styles for mounting on the wall or tabletop to display your family snaps stored in JPG/PNG/BMP/TIFF formats. Oh, and did we mention it ships with a remote control for navigating the embedded HTTP web server and RSS feeds from your fave photo sharing sites like Flikr? Well, it does. Hell, Microsoft's Vista will even autodetect the frame and automatically feed photos from the Vista Pictures folder. Thing is, for $380, you'll wish it did more. Available for pre-order off the biggie consumer electronics websites (hint: Amazon) with shipment expected mid-January.[Thanks, dpf insider]

    This being a digital picture frame, we're sure you don't need much introduction. What's new is that Philips is trumping their previous 7-incher with this new 9-inch PhotoFrame, giving you that much more LCD real estate for displaying embarrassing childhood memories and too-cute family moments. The frame also ups the ante with dual card readers, we suppose to allow for intense memory card hot-swap action. There's also a little bit of internal memory if you want to be boring about it. The frame comes in a "Modern" and "Classic" design (we figure we're looking at the mod version here), and both can of course be wall mounted. No word on price or availability, but we're sure you'll be able to get in on the action soon enough.
