I definitely want one of these!!!!!
My refrigerator is the message center of my home, and this Audiovox Message Center would be PERFECTION!
Not only does it have an erasable white board for writing messages, it also has a built-in microphone so you and the family can leave a short audio message! The border is magnetic, too.
Best of all, the Audiovox Message Center is also a digital picture frame that stores up to 125 pictures!
The digital picture frame has a 7-inch color LCD screen, with a resolution of 480 x 234 and an aspect ratio of 16:9. It supports most camera memory cards and flash drives.
Besides all of the previously-mentioned delights, the Audiovox Message Center also has a digital calendar and clock. It’s the handiest gadget any kitchen could ever hope for! The only thing lacking is cooking and cleaning up, and with the Audiovox Message Center, you’d even know whose turn it was to do that!
The Audiovox Message Center is only $139.00 at most kitchen and electronics stores. Would someone please give me one for Christmas this year?
This 12-inch Augen APF-12CW digital picture frame must be extremely popular, because although nearly every electronics store advertises it, most of them are sold out of it! Online, it’s the same thing, although there are a few places where you can still find this digital frame.
For one thing, the Augen APF-12CW digital frame is absolutely beautiful. For another, it’s 12 inches!!!!! And, for yet another, the price is extremely reasonable, although if you are interested in this digital frame it would be wise to shop around, because I found prices for it that ranged from $109.99 all the way up to $239.99.
ALWAYS shop around when it comes to electronics!!! In fact, it’s wise to shop around for most purchases!
The Augen APF-12CW digital picture frame has a lovely cherry wood frame and a 12-inch Fujitsu LCD display. With a resolution of 800 x 600, your pictures will be clear, bright, colorful, and beautiful.
This digital frame supports most flash drives and memory cards, and will display not only your digital pictures but also most of your videos as well. Not only that: the Augen APF-12CW also plays your favorite Mp3’s via the built-in speaker. You can control it all from your easy chair, with the wireless remote.
The Augen APF-12CW is well worth searching the internet for. Apparently, a LOT of people already have!
From CrunchGear comes the news that Westinghouse has announced a major partnership with Anne Geddes (world-famous photographer of babies and children) to “create a new family of digital photo frames that will highlight babies and children. Under the partnership, the new line of digital photo frames will feature Anne Geddes’ content and images along with the award-winning Westinghouse technology that consumers have come to love and trust. The Westinghouse Anne Geddes digital photo frames are scheduled to launch for the 2008 Holiday season.”
This is quite possibly the most perfect gift for new parents, or for a baby shower, that I’ve ever seen! Most parents love Anne Geddes photographs, and to mix her adorable and innovative pictures with their own pictures of their own children would be a dream come true for many parents.
So far, very few tech specs have been released about the Westinghouse Anne Geddes Digital Picture Frame other than that it has an LCD screen and will require special Westinghouse software to power it.
“Kel Geddes, direction of the Geddes Group, says that “We are very pleased to be associated with Westinghouse Digital. Its dedication to providing the highest quality content and to developing innovative delivery systems will enable individuals worldwide to enjoy and share Anne’s inspiring images in a new medium.”
Westinghouse Digital president Doug Woo states, “Westinghouse Digital is honored to enter into this partnership with Anne Geddes. As a leader in the digital photo frame market, we are looking to provide a large demographic of product purchasers withi a dedicated piece of artwork that reflects individual style. For mothers, grandmothers or anyone who loves children, this is an essential collector’s item – something that resonates and relates to their overall lifestyle interest.”
I predict that many nurseries will have an Anne Geddes digital picture frame on the dresser or wall this Christmas season.
