No, we’re not talking ’bout the latest PMP out of Korea, these are the specs for the DigitalSpectrum MF8104Premium digital picture frame. This 10.4-inch, 800×600 pixel TFT LCD frame is available in a variety of colors and styles for mounting on the wall or tabletop to display your family snaps stored in JPG/PNG/BMP/TIFF formats. Oh, and did we mention it ships with a remote control for navigating the embedded HTTP web server and RSS feeds from your fave photo sharing sites like Flikr? Well, it does. Hell, Microsoft’s Vista will even autodetect the frame and automatically feed photos from the Vista Pictures folder. Thing is, for $380, you’ll wish it did more. Available for pre-order off the biggie consumer electronics websites (hint: Amazon) with shipment expected mid-January.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time

Filed under: Displays, Household

This being a digital picture frame, we’re sure you don’t need much introduction. What’s new is that Philips is trumping their previous 7-incher with this new 9-inch PhotoFrame, giving you that much more LCD real estate for displaying embarrassing childhood memories and too-cute family moments. The frame also ups the ante with dual card readers, we suppose to allow for intense memory card hot-swap action. There’s also a little bit of internal memory if you want to be boring about it. The frame comes in a “Modern” and “Classic” design (we figure we’re looking at the mod version here), and both can of course be wall mounted. No word on price or availability, but we’re sure you’ll be able to get in on the action soon enough.
