eStarling WPF-588 WiFi Digital Picture Frame Released
Written on Nov 4, 2009 by Brian and filed under News, eStarling
eStarling has released a new WiFi enabled digital picture frame that features several goodies like a 10.2″ touch input panel and the ability to receive photos via Gmail address, Facebook, Picasa and Flickr. The WPF-588 is shipping now for $249.99.
eStarling is clearly trying to up their game, as most digital frame manufacturers now have to leap the bar set by the HP DreamScreen. The WPF-588 comes close in several ways, and is probably one of the more interesting pure frame plays, because of the dedicated email, touchscreen interface and ease of sharing photos and video to the frame. Where it falls short though is the lack of content services, like the HP, although eStarling does offer a Twitter reader, something the HP does not. For the same price though, it will be interesting to see if consumers prefer the simplicity and ease of sharing that eStarling offers here.
Aside from the touch panel and 802.11n WiFi, the other highlights include:
- RJ45 Ethernet wired connectivity
- 10.2″ 16:9 800X480 Digital LCD with split-screen design for right sized image presentation
- 2GB storage
- SD media card reader
- No PC required for setup
- Access photos through Gmail, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, and with more services to come
- Connected video inbox feature allowing videos to be sent over the Web from smartphones for later play back
- Twitter client
- Over the air automatic firmware update capable
The eStarling WPF-588 is available now direct from eStarling for $249.99.
