Parrot Digital Photo Frame by Andrée Putman Announced
Written on Jul 15, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, Parrot
Parrot has announced a new digital picture frame that’s created by designer Andrée Putman. The 7″ frame offers a high resolution 720×480 display, Bluetooth and enough internal memory for 400 photos. It’s due out this month for a whopping $450.
“I would like to pay tribute to Parrot for daring to think that this wonder of technology could be coiled up inside a beautiful wrapping with an eye-catching flourish that goes beyond mere practicality,” explains Andrée Putman. “I will fill this screen with photos of my children and friends, and I will place it neatly on my desk.”
At a price of $450, Putman might be the only one to fill the frame with photos. With tons of competitive products that look great, like the Sony lineup, it’s hard to imagine paying a premium for a “special” design. The spec sheet certainly isn’t interesting enough to warrant the investment, but if you love the design enough to drop two times the cost of a competitive product, by all means.
