Review: Samsung SPF-85V

Digital photo frames share a fundamental concept with online photo sharing, bypassing prints in favor of direct-to-frame display.

These questions relate directly to the design philosophy behind Samsung’s latest digital picture frame, the Samsung SPF-85V.

Written on Sep 11, 2008 by MKowalski and filed under Pandigital, Reviews
The world of digital picture frames is full of newcomers, of brand names you’ve probably never encountered before. For me, Pandigital was one such name. So what does Pandigital’s 8” PanTouch photo frame have to set it apart from the rest of this anonymous crowd? A touch-responsive interface, for starters, and a healthy 512 MB of internal memory, audio/video playback, and optional wireless network connectivity beyond that.
