GiiNii was showing off the first product in their PixPlus line of Internet-enabled digital picture frames at CES this year. The 10.1″ model we saw featured a fantastic display, their best yet, and includes 1GB of internal memory and a battery.

There are two frames currently in the GiiNii PixPlus line, but they both run the same hardware. The difference is in the software. GiiNii PixPlus Featuring FrameChannel is the mainline unit that pulls in customized content like news, weather and sports scores from the FrameChannel service. The second unit, GiiNii PixPlus Source, features content from HowStuffWorks.com, which provides easy-to-understand explanations of how the world works. We’re a little confused as to why they didn’t do both on one frame, but they didn’t.

From a hardware perspective, these 10.1″ frames feature a widescreen (800×480 pixels) touch-panel display. Of course both feature integrated Wi-Fi and multi-card reader, along with 1GB of internal memory. They also com with a lithium-ion battery. 

GiiNii expects the new PixPlus line to begin shipping in mid-2009, pricing has not yet been announced.
