We’ve had a run of terrible windstorms and hail these past few nights, and the power has been going off and on, off and on. This often wreaks havoc on our electronics; my computer is having a bit of a fit right now, and I’ve had to replace several light bulbs because the constant upheaval was too much for them.
Since I never turn off my Digital Spectrum MF 8104 wireless digital picture frame, I worried about how the storms would affect it.
After about the fifth power outage, my wireless frame wasn’t showing my FrameChannel pictures any more; it was back to the out-of-the-box standard slideshow of what-this-frame-can-do.
I panicked. What would I do without my steady slideshow of pictures?
But all I had to do, I discovered, was pick up the wireless remote and give it a few clicks, and there were my children again, every age they’ve ever been up until last week, and there was my husband, 25 years old and looking, hey, pretty darn good, and there were my parents, younger than my youngest child is now. . . .
In other words, these wireless digital photo frames are pretty tough. When it comes down to Mother Nature vs. Digital Spectrum, Digital Spectrum wins, hands down. They even love it in the UK!

The new Mustek PF-A950PS digital picture frame, which will be introduced at Las Vegas’s PMA (Jan. 31 - Feb. 2), is an exceptionally handsome frame, and part of that really attractive bezel is a flat panel speaker being driven by NXT flat-panel speaker technology.
With the large, clear, concise 9.5″ LCD screen - 800 x 480 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio - your pictures will be as lifelike as though the subjects were standing in the room with you!
The Mustek PF-A950PS digital photo frame also supports almost all memory cards and flash drives, and can be connected directly to your computer via the USB port. The frame shows JPEG photos.
But besides photos, this frame also shows videos and plays music.
You can program and control your slideshows, videos, and music with the wireless remote, or by the buttons which are all on the back of the frame, making the front of the frame more attractive.
You’ll be able to see this new Mustek digital frame in PMA booth K179 at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 31 - Feb. 2.
David Ficken, Director of Sales, Mustek, says that “The highlight of the new PF-A950PS is the audio performance achievement by the NXT flat-panel. Rivaling that experienced with home theater, the rich, diffuse soundfield makes the PF-A950PS stand out in a crowded digital photo frame market. This premium audio solution locks sound and vision together, making the PF-A950PS ideal for consumers who want to use their digital photo frame as an integrated entertainment device.”
This new Mustek digital frame will ship in May with a suggest starting price of $249.00.
I’ve posted about Mustek products before. Mustek is the company that has the iPod Dock!

Whenever I read about new and different innovations concerning wireless/digital picture frames, I get all excited. I love my wireless frame so much, you see, that I assume you’ll love yours just as much. And all you Bluetooth fans out there will naturally be interested in a connection between your wireless/digital frame and your Bluetooth!
Got kids? If you do, they’re probably big fans of Nickelodeon’s Dora and Diego, and this digital picture frame will be right up their alley.
Right up YOUR alley, too!
This digital frame might have children’s cartoon characters on it, but underneath those everchanging smiley Dora and Diego faces is a genuine digital picture frame with 128MB of memory storage.
This digital frame is compatible with most memory cards and flash drives, and you can also upload pictures via the USB directly from your computer.
The TFT LCD screen gives you clear, bright pictures of your beautiful children, and you can watch a slideshow with several transition functions.
Right now, the Dora and Diego digital picture frame is only available in the States and APO/FPO addresses. It’s sold at Target and on Amazon, and costs about $74.99.
