“Click on RSS news items in your ticker to jump right to the full article on the web.
Delete an image on your hard disk permanently by pressing the “delete” button in the full-size photo display. Great for cleaning up those thumb-over-the-flash shots you copied from your camera.
Jump directly to the folder on your hard disk or to the web page for any image by clicking the “target” button in the full-size photo display.
Save images from RSS feeds to your hard drive by pressing the “Save” button in the full-size photo display.
Watch photo memories fade in and out or subtly scroll across the screen.
Click any thumbnail image to zoom in to the full-size picture or website.
Send photos via email, set them as your desktop background, print in multiple sizes.
The unique docking “sidebar mode” keeps the photos on your desktop without interfering with other application windows.”
“MediaTicker 2 is more than just a photo browser or newsreader – it’s the ultimate RSS media reader. Its unique scrolling format provides you with access to unlimited news headlines, photos, articles and forums while keeping itself neatly out of the way so you can actually get on with your day. RSS feeds with thumbnails and full-size images are displayed right in the ticker, so instead of clicking on a text link for “Giants Win Superbowl LX”, you can click on a photo of the winning touchdown! RSS feeds that don’t have thumbnails will be displayed as text links along with a snapshot of the website from where the feed originated.”
“Other newsreaders simply provide you with either an email-like experience or a full-blown webpage displays only a few stories at once. With MediaTicker, news (and a whole lot more) comes to you, so make MediaTicker your newsreader today!”
Coby makes digital picture frames that are affordable and beautiful. You know, wireless/digital picture frames have changed the way people are looking at their pictures. For one thing, with a wireless/digital photo frame, people can see ALL of their pictures instead of just one framed picture that never changes. Since most people store their pictures on their computer’s hard drive and then never look at them again, having a wireless/digital picture frame is wonderful indeed!
The Coby frames have crystal-clear LCD screens, and since they are not in the least bulky, they fit almost anywhere a standard frame would fit. Hang it on the wall, or display it on a tabletop or desk, just as you would any other picture frame. The difference is, the Coby digital frame displays ALL of your pictures, not just one. Cool, huh!
The Coby frames have built-in Mp3 players, too. Watch your children grow up before your eyes, accompanied by the soundtrack of their lives. It’s awesomely sentimental!
Load the Coby frame with pictures by using a memory card or flashdrive; this makes the Coby frame the perfect gift for those people in your life who don’t use or own a computer.
From Gizmodo comes this incredible article about a digital picture frame that doubles as a camera!
Well, we’ve got phones that double as a camera; maybe it was just a matter of time!
“Designer Jin Woo Han figured if you want both a digital camera and a digital picture frame, why not put them together and display the pictures with the same device you used to capture them? In this design concept Han calls the Samsung SS 700, he determined a happy medium size where the point-and-shoot camera is not too large and the picture frame isn’t too small.
. . .this combination camera/picture frame has one attribute we’ve wanted for a long time: a relatively gigantic display on the back of a point-and-shoot camera. There’s no indication about the exact size of this display, but it’s probably bigger than the largest 3-inch point-and-shoot displays available now.
Point-and-shoot digital cameras and digital picture frames are both getting to be such copycats lately, it’s refreshing to see a truly original idea, one that might just become practical as prices for these low-end camera and screen components continue their freefall.”
