Review: GiiNii Artforme 7 inch Digital Picture Frame
Written on Jan 18, 2010 by Malcolm Reynolds and filed under Featured, GiiNii, Reviews
One of the side effects to reviewing many different digital picture frames is that I start to expect more and more from a typical picture frame. The latest digital media frames handle photos, video, music, and stream content via Wi-Fi. That’s why I was amazed to see the affordable GiiNii ArtForme Digital Picture Frame (model GN-705W) keeps things surprisingly simple. This picture frame is just a picture frame … nothing more and nothing less.

In a somewhat sad move, Smartparts is ceasing operations. Smartparts was definitely a second tier manufacturer of digital picture frames, but they had a lot going for them. We liked their latest wireless offering and thought their large-screen digital frames at CES looked good. But in a statement from the company, “the economy” has taken another victim.

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.

The SmartParts SPX8WF is an 8” digital picture frame with a wireless connection for receiving Windows Live Photo Gallery images, RSS feeds, and pictures via email. Offering an 800×600 resolution display in a 4:3 format this frame lets you enjoy pictures sent from friends and relatives without even having to plug in a memory card or attach it to a computer (if you don’t want to that is).

Review: Smartparts SP8PRT 8″ Digital Picture Frame and Printer
Written on Sep 5, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, Reviews, Smartparts
The Smartparts SP8PRT is an interesting combination of printer and digital picture frame. Not intended to replace serious photo printers, this model is geared toward the occasional one-off print. So next time Grandma is admiring pictures of the kids on this frame, with a push of a button you can print off a copy for her.
