Written on Dec 21, 2009 by Thomas S. and filed under Reviews, Sungale
At the moment Sungale isn’t exactly a household name when it comes to digital picture frames, but they have started to ship some new and very interesting models. The Cyberus ID700WTA is a 7” digital picture frame that also pulls double-duty as a full-function internet-enabled media player. With features including YouTube movie playback, Gmail integration, RSS news readers, and IP radio support it has the potential to be one of the coolest frames I have seen to date.
Review: Toshiba DMF82XKU 8″ Digital Media Frame
Written on Dec 17, 2009 by Malcolm Reynolds and filed under Reviews, Toshiba
Digital photo frames aren’t just for viewing photos anymore. Today many of the digital frames we see are “digital media frames” designed to view photos, video, play music, or even access content over the Internet. This is exactly what the new 8-inch Toshiba DMF82XKU tries to do for about $180. Does this Wi-Fi enabled multimedia frame deliver a genuinely unique experience, or is it just another photo frame? We took a closer look to find out.
Review: Pandigital PanTouch Clear 8″ (PAN8000DWPCF1)
Written on Dec 11, 2009 by MKowalski and filed under Pandigital, Reviews
Not so long ago, if you wanted a touch screen in your digital photo frame, you had to settle for the fact that said frame would be bigger and bulkier than its touch-free brethren. As a rule, it was reasonable to expect that a frame would either have lots of novel tech, or that it would have the sleek look of a traditional photo frame – but finding both in the same package was usually too much to ask.
Pandigital is just the latest manufacturer to buck this trend in 2009 with the launch of the ultra-thin, touch-screen equipped Pantouch Clear series. With gift giving season upon us, could the Pantouch Clear be the sleek melding of form and function that you’ve been waiting for?
Review: HP sd828 8″ Smart Wi-Fi Display
Written on Dec 8, 2009 by Thomas S. and filed under HP, Reviews
When digital photo frames first came out they were basically designed to view pictures. These days to set picture frames apart, manufacturers are starting to add web integration features like streaming Internet radio. Instead of just showing off pictures on your desk at work, it can effectively replace your small radio too. For a bit less than 150 bucks HP has the 8” Smart Wi-Fi Display (sd828) that can play movies, listen to online radio, play music, and of course view digital images.
Review: Sony DPF-V1000
Written on Nov 19, 2009 by Thomas S. and filed under Reviews, Sony
Digital photo frames can usually be separated out into two categories; basic but affordable and high-end with interesting features. The Sony DPF-V1000 takes the digital picture frame one step further, showing pictures not only on its 10.2” screen but on your HDTV through a HDMI port. Sony has you covered if you like to have a picture frame showing off a gallery of pictures throughout the week, but also if you want to show off slideshows during parties on the big screen. Priced at $250 this model costs quite a bit more than competing models making us wonder if the features justify the price.
