The Parrot DF7700: The Waiting Is Almost Over!

I’ve posted before about the upcoming Parrot DF7700 wireless digital picture frame, and it looks like the waiting is almost over!

CNet Reviews’ Kent German informs us that this amazing Parrot wireless digital photo frame will be unveiled at this week’s CTIA.

According to Mr. German, “. . .the Parrot DF7700 is the first digital photo frame (as least that we know of) with an integrated SIM card and dedicated phone number. The phone number will allow you to send photos directly from your camera phone to the DF7700.”

The Parrot DF7700 wireless photo frame comes in both black leather or brown leather. The 7-inch display features 720 x 480 pixels, and supports 262,000 colors. Various features include adjustable backlighting and automatic photo orientation. This frame can hold up to 500 images in JPEG or GIF format, and when you use the wireless features, the number of pictures are, of course, unlimited.

Still no price available, but by this time next week, Parrot is sure to disclose it.

New Sony Digital Picture Frames Coming In April

From Imaging Resource comes this VERY interesting conversation between IR senior editor Shawn Barnett and Sony spokesman Phil Bouchillon, at the 2008 PMA’s.

Mr. Bouchillon tells us pretty much everything anyone would need to know about the latest Sony digital picture frames, and in a way that is easy to understand.

Digital Picture Frames Are Like MAGIC!

Wireless/digital picture frames are getting more and more MAGICAL all the time!

I’ve posted before about how Harry Potter isn’t the only one who has a picture frame that seems almost alive by his bed. Not any more. Any one of us can have what Harry has, and we can have a moving picture frame that does even more than Harry Potter’s moving pictures do.

With a wireless digital picture frame and a content provider like FrameChannel, there really are very few limitations as to what you can see in your frame. Photographs, slideshowing one by one or in groups or in any formation you choose. . . videos. . . . movies. . . television programs. . . podcasts. . . streaming internet radio. . . . mp3’s. . . . Harry Potter’s magical picture frame merely showed the same picture over and over again, alive and moving, yes, but just the one picture. YOUR wireless digital picture frame, on the other hand, can make Harry’s picture frame look like still life, because yours can do ever so much more, even if it’s not REALLY magic.

Or is it?

The late Arthur C. Clarke said it best: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
