Pandigital Photo Mail Frame Backed by AT&T

Written on Jan 6, 2010 by Brian and filed under News, Pandigital

Pandigital has released a new frame at CES, the Photo Mail LED Digital Photo Frame . The party trick this frame offers is that it uses the AT&T network to receive photos, so no home networking is needed.

The Photo Mail is being pitched as one of the easiest frames to use. Each frame will have a dedicated email address to receive pictures. When new photos show up, the frame owner chooses to accept or reject them. The entire transaction is handled seamlessly over the AT&T cellular network, so users don’t need a wireless or wired Internet connection in their home. The photos that get emailed to the frame go into a Snapfish account where they can be managed. Users can also order prints or other keepsakes.

Aside from the email capability, the Photo Mail features an 8″ LED-lit screen with standard aspect 800×600 pixel display. The frame also has 1GB of internal storage, multi-card reader (CF, SD, xD, MS), memory optimization mode, calendar, clock and alarm functions and programmable on/off times. The frame also handles multimedia files including AVI video files and MP3 music.

The Pandigital Photo Mail will be available later this year for a suggested $149.99. This price includes the ability to receive 300 photos. After that users will have to buy additional allotments form Pandigital for an unspecified price.
