T-Mobile to Release “Cameo” – GPRS Enabled Digital Picture Frame
Written on Oct 6, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, T-Mobile
T-Mobile is said to be close to releasing a digital picture frame they’re calling Cameo. The highlight is the fact that it includes a SIM card and can receive data over the T-Mobile network. For $100 you can buy the frame and for another $10/month, you can send pictures directly to the frame from your mobile phone.
Whether or not people will pay $120/year for this service is debatable. Similar services are available via Wi-Fi connections and even email, but the masses haven’t adopted the idea. This is a little different, because it leverages the ubiquitous camera-enabled mobile phone. The fees are steep though and it remains to be see how good the frame is on it’s own. Either way, this is a fun extension of digital frames as they currently stand. [via CellPhone Signal]
