Smartparts was demoing all sorts of new digital picture frames at CES, from 2.4″ portable units up to a refresh of their 32″ behemoth. The most interesting though was the SPX19WF, a 19″ Wi-Fi model that boasts a brilliant 1448×880 pixel display. All five frames will be available in March.

This 10″ and 19″ Wi-Fi models fills a gap in the Smartparts wireless digital picture frame portfolio that currently only has models in the 8″ and 32″ sizes. The new SPX10WF and SPX19WF are all about ease-of-use and feature a one push Internet setup, automatic image correction, and on-frame photo album organization.

Like the 8″ Wi-Fi frame, the SPX10WF and SPX19WF feature photo email capability, enabling users to automatically receive emailed photos directly on their frame from friends and family. They also support Windows FrameIt, which offers customized content and photo sharing. Users may also consume photo feeds from online services like Flickr and Picasa.
The SPX10WF features an espresso wood frame and features a 10″ 800×600 pixel standard aspect ratio LCD panel. The SPX19WF, which comes with a brown wood frame has a 1448×880 pixel panel, which is somewhere between standard and traditional widescreen aspect. Even though the resolution is a bit off, we did find the display to be vibrant and overall very impressive.
Both frames have 512MB of internal memory and support SD, MS, xD, MMC, and Compact Flash memory cards, as well as a USB port.
The SPX10WF has an MSRP of $199.99 and the SPX19WF an MSRP of $299.99. Both will be available in March. Smartparts also announced a small update to their 32″ wireless digital frame that gives it access to Windows FrameIt.
Smartparts SP24PC & SP35PC
Smartparts also announced two touch-sensitive portable digital picture viewers, the 2.4″ SP24PC and 3.5″ SP35PC. Users can transfer images directly to the frame’s internal memory via USB connection to a PC. The USB cable also charges the internal battery in each frame. The battery should last up to three hours while continuously playing a slideshow.
Both frames feature a 320×240 pixel touch-sensitive display panel. When photos are resized for the displays, the SP24PC can hold up to 50 images and the SP35PC holds up to 100.
The SP24PC and SP35PC come with a USB cable and a micro-fiber carrying pouch. Both will be available in March at a retail of $29.99 for the SP24PC and $39.99 for the SP35PC.
