Transcend T-photo TM 710C: Flat-Screen!

Transcend’s Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Mr. Austin Huang, says that “If you’re looking to add a bit of fashion to your living room, bedroom, or office and show off your picture collection at the same time, be assured that the T.photoTM 710C offers exceptional quality, features and value. As opposed to the original T.photo 710’s elegant black and gold color scheme, the new T.photo 710C’s transparent frame offers a simple and pure look, making it perfect for setting on an office desk or mounting on a living room wall, regardless of décor.”

This Transcend digital frame is thin - it’s a flat panel, in fact!  The 7-inch screen makes the viewing of your photographs, the clock, and the calendar an easy and pleasant experience, and being able to play your favorite Mp3’s along with your picture slideshow just adds to the enjoyment!  You can even use the Transcend digital picture frame as an alarm clock, with your choice of music to awaken you!

The full gig of internal memory means that you can store a LOT of pictures within the frame, not even counting how many pictures you can actually showcase in your slideshows when you use pretty much any memory stick or card on the market.

This classy digital photo frame requires no drivers when you connect it to your computer, and you can load your pictures by simply dragging and dropping them into the frame!

The two-year warranty that all Transcend digital picture frames comes with will further ease your mind.  Not many electronics of any type have that kind of warranty!

The Transcend T-photo TM 710C digital picture frame has a high resolution (480 x 234) widescreen TFT LCD screen, which means the display is flawless - whether it be in landscape or portrait mode.  You can even program this digital frame from across the room, using the handy wireless remote.

Oh, and that calendar function?  It’s not just a calendar; you can actually mark important dates on it, and the calendar will give you alarm reminders.

You can mount this digital frame on the wall, or display it on a desk or tabletop.  To further enhance your room’s decor, the Transcend T-photo digital frame comes with seasonal frame themes (Christmas, New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day).

Price to be announced soon.

DigiTimes Makes Predictions About Digital Photo Frames

The DigiTimes has an interesting post up about the makers of digital photo frame panels.  Apparently, several sources have estimated that panel shipments are down, and that the supply of digital panels will be evenly split among digital picture frames, portable DVD players, and netbooks.

Read about the projections for digital photo frames right here.

This is my own wireless digital picture frame, by the way. It’s a Digital Spectrum MF8104, and it’s my prized possession. I can never resist the temptation to brag about it. My wireless picture frame, and FrameChannel, have enhanced the lives of my entire family. The LCD panel on my frame makes the pictures clear and bright and beautiful.

PCMag.com Reviews Several Wireless/Digital Picture Frames

P.J. Jacobowitz of PCMag.com has put together a series of wireless/digital picture frame reviews that really cuts to the chase and tells it like it is.  Full of helpful hints and advice about several wireless/digital frames, Jacobowitz pulls no punches:  if he thinks the frame is good, he says so, and if he thinks the frame is a waste of money, well, he tells us that, too.

Don’t forget to watch his video!

I agree with Jacobowitz when he talks about how if his grandmother had a wireless digital picture frame, he could take pictures of himself and his friends and send them to her picture frame instantly!  That way, she could “keep up with” his life!

Just think about sending pictures of your babies and young children to grandparents far away!  I absolutely love the thought.

Pure Digital’s Flip Video Ultra Uploads Directly To Computer, Television, and Wireless/Digital Picture Frame!

This is a Flip Video Ultra by Pure Digital, and I have one!

It’s the simplest and coolest video camera ever, and one of the MANY reasons I adore it is that I can upload videos directly to my wireless digital picture frame.

That’s right.  Directly.  See that usb flash drive coming out of the side of the camera?  That plugs directly into my wireless picture frame, and transfers video just as a regular USB flash drive would upload pictures.

I can also upload the videos directly to my computer, or even to my television!  If you’re a person who utilizes YouTube, or any of the social media networks such as FaceBook or MySpace, this is the video camera you’ve been waiting for!

This ultra-cool Ultra Flip camera is about the size of a cell phone and is as light as a feather.  I keep mine in my purse.  It’s the perfect gift for people who aren’t very tech-savvy because there is really only one main button to push, and it’s very large and smack in the middle of the back of the camera.  Push it once to start filming; push it again to stop. Your grandmother could learn to use this camera in less than a minute!

It comes it your choice of five cool colors.  Mine is orange.

The video quality is quite good, and the audio is good, too.   The Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra camera was never intended to replace your handheld video camera, but for those small things that come up suddenly, this little camera is IDEAL.  It will hold about an hour’s worth of videos.

I LOVE IT that I can shoot a little film, flick the switch on the side of the camera with my fingernail, and immediately plug the USB flash drive into my wireless/digital picture frame.  This would, of course, work with both wireless AND digital frames.

It’s more electronic magic, and more ways to use your wireless/digital photo frame.  It’s AWESOME.

WalMart has the Flip Video Ultra for $160.00, but you can order it directly from the Flip Video Store for $149.99.  However, the best deal on this camera that I’ve found, so far, is WalMart.com, where you can order the Flip Ultra for only $129.84, with 97-cent delivery!

This camera is cute.  It’s tiny.  It’s light-weight.  It’s reliable.  It’s tough.  It takes clear, bright videos with clear, bright sound.  It fits in a purse or pocket.

And, it’s inexpensive and easy to use.  What more could you ask?

Oh, did I mention that it uses standard AA batteries?  And that those batteries last a long time?
