New Digital Frames Offer Wi-Fi, Simplicity
Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:57PM EST
Digital frames are everywhere, and CES was no exception. Upon closer look at the ubiquitous digital photo screens, a few nice trends are emerging. Wi-Fi capabilities are making it easier to send photos to frames, which are becoming less complicated to use.
Here’s a look at a few new twists to the new generation of digital frames:
Wi-Fi — Not necessarily new, but getting better. Several digital frame makers have made it easier to send photos to frames, as well as uploading them through storage cards and USB connections to computers. Kodak will have a new feature called Picture Mail this year that will allow you to send photos directly to one of its EasyShare digital frames via the Kodak EasyShare software. Ality announced the Wireless PIXXA, an 8-inch frame ($300) that allows you to send photos to it via an instant-messaging service called Photo Messenger.
Services are also emerging to help you send photos and other images and info as RSS feeds directly to the frames. FrameChannel is a free service that makes it possible to send photos and other personalized content via RSS feeds to, currently, these frames: Samsung SPF-72V, Digital Spectrum’s 8-, 10-, and 15-inch wireless frames, PhotoVu’s wireless frames, and iMate’s frames. Meanwhile, iMate has unveiled a new 10.2-inch Momento frame ($300) and a 7-inch Momento ($200) that includes Wi-Fi capability. Using a Momento subscription service (price not yet announced), you’ll be able to send photos via cell phone, RSS feeds, and sync photos with Flickr and other photo-streaming services.
Getting bigger — Ceiva, one of the first to offer a subscription service to send photos directly to frames, introduced the Pro 190, a $400 19-inch wall-mountable frame with Wi-Fi capability that allows you to move photos wirelessly from a PC to the frame, and from frame to frame. A monthly $9.95 Picture Plan subscription is still needed to send photos to Ceiva frames. Smartparts will offer the biggest digital frame to date in March, the $900 32-inch SP3200. Smartparts also showed off the first combination digital frame/printer that prints displayed photos with the push of a button. The 8-inch frame will cost $279.
Bluetooth — continues to be an option. Parrot is one of the digital frame makers that make it easy to send photos to frames via cell phones, PCs, and cameras-as long as they are Bluetooth-enabled.
I’ve written before about the Momento 70 - the wireless 7-inch digital photo frame from iMate. I haven’t changed my mind since then, either. In fact, I like the Momento 70 even more!
That’s because I’ve discovered that, among all its other fantastic qualities, the Momento 70 is one of the many wireless digital 
picture frames that is compatible with FrameChannel, and I consider FrameChannel to be by far the most superior of all photo programs on the internet today. It’s the most versatile, the easiest to use, and has more choices than any other photo program out there. And, it’s free.
The Momento 7-inch wireless digital picture frame has a high-resolution display (800 x 480) and can be displayed as either portrait or landscape. Your call. This Momento frame can be used with Windows Vista AND Windows XP, and supports integration of audio, video, and voice as well as online access to all kinds of other applications and services.
No wireless available? That’s okay - just use your camera’s memory card, or your flash drive or memory stick to upload pictures into the Momento 70.

A happy customer is the best kind of advertisement for any kind of product or service, and when someone writes a blogpost praising something, and recommending that all of his/her friends get one, too. . . well, that is the most believable kind of positive advertising that any product could possibly wish for!
I know that if I am contemplating trying a new restaurant, or a new hairstylist, or, actually, ANYTHING new, word-of-mouth is the kind of endorsement that means the most to me. You can pay people to say anything, but when people try something and love it so much they just HAVE to share the news, then that ’something’ must really be SOMETHING.
Em, for example, won an iMate Momento 70, a 7-inch wireless digital photo frame, and she is sharing her opinion of it with the Blogosphere, which includes us right here at FrameMedia!
So click on over to Em’s blog. If you’re a Mac user, she might have some tips for you, too, when it comes to a wireless digital picture frame.
