Syabas, a global provider of over-the-top settop software and hardware and makers of the award winning Popcorn Hour A-110 and C-200, today announced that Thinking Screen Media will be bringing its FrameChannel content widgets to the Popcorn Hour and the company’s new DAVID platform. From sports scores, to stock quotes, weather and news along with photos and status updates from your favorite social networks, FrameChannel offers over 1000 RSS-based content widgets in 12 different languages. A widget’s content can be as global as a BBC newsfeed or as local as a small town high school football team. In addition, users can add their favorite blogs or content sources that are not yet part of the FrameChannel library.
In partnership with www.vframe.net, there is now an iPhone app available in the app store that runs your FrameChannel content. I’m running it right now as I type this in my charging cradle so its a wireless picture frame that I can take with me anywhere with all my favorite FrameChannel content.
Search on vframe in the app store or click here to get the app now!
“Yes, the DMF82XKU 8″ Digital Media Frame is expensive, but its well-executed Web-connected features help to justify its $179.99 (list) price and make it our latest Editors’ Choice digital photo frame. Toshiba pairs Wi-Fi with FrameChannel, a sophisticated Web-based photo and content streaming service that makes sending content to the frame seamless, allowing you to add your own photos wirelessly, invite friends and family members to share their photos, and stream a variety of content from RSS feeds. Thanks to its online component, the DMF82XKU is great for, say, displaying party pictures from Facebook or sending vacation photos home to grandma—while you’re still on the road.”
Our flagship product, FrameChannel, allows frame owners to program a unique stream of images that is updated dynamically, marrying their own photos with fresh content provided by FrameChannel and its partners.
