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.

Prinics has announced a new digital photo frame that includes a 5×7 photo printer. They claim to be the first one to have a frame with printer, but we’ve also seen a digital picture frame with printer from Smartparts. Either way, I’m not going to take the effort to see who was really first – [...]

Panasonic 103″ HD Plasma TV Released, Doubles as Digital Picture Frame
Written on Aug 26, 2008 by Brian and filed under News
Sure, it’s a bit of a stretch to call Panasonic’s latest foray into excessively large plasma displays a digital picture frame, but Panasonic lists the picture frame as a feature, so who are we to judge? The Viera TH-103PZ800 is a Japan-only release right now, but that’s probably not the only thing stopping you from buying one. The $50,000 price tag may be a second reason.

Reports are circulating that Kodak has agreed to purchase 7.6″ OLED panels for a new high-end digital picture frame.

Written on Aug 21, 2008 by Brian and filed under Knowledge Base, News
Research and Markets recently published a research report that essentially asserts that the increased use of home servers to manage digital content will cause certain devices, like digital picture frames, to alter the way they work. We’re already seeing a big push from D-Link, Kodak and others to include wireless connections in their frames for the main purpose of connecting to home media servers or online photo sharing services.
