Sony Canvas Online CP-1 Digital Photo Frame With Embedded Web Browser
Written on Jun 26, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, Sony
Sony’s CP-1, currently only planned for Japan, has made its way to Opera’s headquarters where it’s been played with, and thankfully video recorded, by Opera’s CEO Jon von Tetzchner. His take? “It’s Awesome!”
The CP-1 7″ digital frame has all the standard features, including extras like WiFi for sending pictures to your frame or keeping them current from online sources like Photozou. Sony dropped in a few unique twists though; of course the integrated Opera web-browser has gadget-geeks a little fired up. There’s also a joystick knob on the back side to help make navigation more tolerable.
The big question is whether or not anyone actually wants to browse the web via photo frame. Largely, probably not, but it’s great to see frame functionality pushed regardless of immediate market need.
