Last October, I posted about the IPEVO Kaleido R7 Wireless Digital Picture Frame that was going to be showcased in this year’s CES last January, and now that this beautiful wireless frame has been for sale for a while, I wanted to mention it again!
The October post mentioned the outstandingly low price for the IPEVO frame, but didn’t know the EXACT price at that time. Now I do, and it’s a very good price indeed.
You can buy a wireless digital IPEVO Kaleido frame from Amazon for as low as $199.99. This is not a small frame, either; for that price you’ll get 7 inches of bright, clear, colorful LCD TFT digital pictures! With a resolution of 800 x 480 and an aspect ratio of 400:1, even the people sitting on the other side of the room will be able to see your pictures.
Use that wifi to get your pictures directly from your computer’s hard drive, or from a photo-sharing service like Picasa or Flickr. You can also store up to FIVE THOUSAND PICTURES in the frame itself.
The Ipevo Kaleido R7 has a row of touch-responsive buttons that will scroll through your pictures and do pretty much anything you want done with them. You can also program your Ipevo Kaleido with the wireless remote, from the comfort of your easy chair.
This wireless digital picture frame ROTATES! If you have a picture with a vertical orientation, just flip the frame!
The Ipevo Kaleido R7 will ship with its own Mac and PC-compatible software, which will allow you to organize your pictures into playlists and channels (FRAMECHANNEL!) and then you can schedule what pictures are rotated through the display, and when.
When a wireless digital picture frame manufacturer includes Framechannel capability in a product, I know it’s a good product.

Photo-Vu has several different wireless picture frames, some of which I’ve already talked about here – the 22″ wireless frame, for one.
I have a feeling, however, that the full-featured PhotoVu PV1765w, smaller than the 22″ but still a VERY large wireless digital photo frame, was under many a Christmas tree this year. That’s why, even though I’ve blogged about it before, I’m doing it again!
The price is reasonable for such a large (17 inch screen!) and fully-loaded wireless digital picture frame – only $699.00, and watch for sales during these after-the-holiday shopping days.
With a Photo-Vu wireless frame, you have two options: you can have unlimited storage by using the wireless function and using the pictures stored on your computer: on Flickr, Picasa, Google, Apple, iPhoto, .Mac, and SmugMug, or any web albums you might have made for your picture. Photo-Vu wireless digital frames make use of RSS (really simple syndication) feeds; any time you see this symbol,
on a page, it means you can subscribe to the page and whatever is on there (news, weather, pictures, etc) will also be accessed by your Photo-Vu wireless frame. You can even send pictures from YOUR Photo-Vu wireless frame to your friend’s Photo-Vu wireless frame, over the miles. How awesome for families who want to keep in touch visually across great distances or even just across the street!
There’s no waiting, either; once the pictures are in your computer, they’re in the frame. Set them to display pretty much any way you wish, although slideshows are probably the most popular. You can program the frame to check for RSS updates whenever you wish, too – every few minutes, once a day, every hour on the hour, etc.
The Photo-Vu’s 17-inch wide-screen, with its clear, beautiful LCD TFT display and 1280 x 800, 24-bit or up to 16,000,000+ colors, is large enough to see clearly from across a large room, whether you’ve decided to display it on the wall or on a desk or table-top. (The frame weights about 18 pounds, so be sure you hang it on a wall stud.) These frames look nice on top of a piano, too; just make sure the frame sits on a large-enough surface – remember, a 17″ wireless digital frame is a large frame! The large 17-inch display makes this frame ideally suited to be placed on a tripod or portrait display, to slideshow wedding, baptism, shower, funeral, business, advertisement, or reunion pictures so everyone can see them.
Oh, and if you don’t want to use the wireless connection every time, you can always use any memory card or flash drive to load the frame with pictures, although naturally not as many as when you have the virtually unlimited resources of the INTERNET.
Another aspect that makes the Photo-Vu PV1765w so unique and easy-to-use is the fact that all of the software is built into the frame; there is no software to install on your computer; all you have to do is open up your favorite web browser and type in the PhotoVu’s name or IP address (don’t throw away the paperwork; this information is in there!) and after you do that, anything goes! Manage all of your picture display options, connect with your RSS feeds, and program in start and finish times for your frame to start up and turn off. You don’t even have to worry about the simple stuff, let alone any complicated stuff. Of course, you can always turn the frame on or off manually whenever you wish, too.
What if your computer is a laptop, and you take it with you every day? Can your Photo-Vu wireless frame carry on without it? Of course it can. Just use the USB removable hard drive option to create a copy of your digital photo collection. This provides several benefits:
- It creates a backup of your digital photos.
- The digital frame is not dependent on the laptop being available for photos since it uses the USB removable hard drive.
- The laptop can control the PhotoVu using your wireless network and web browser
Besides being superior in almost every possible way already discussed, the Photo-Vu PV1765w is also superior in another way: You’re not limited to the one frame that came in the box. You can have your pick of TONS of “looks” for your wireless frame. Just check out the “Build Your Own” page on the Photo-Vu website.
Mark Van Buskirk, Partner, PhotoVu, says that “This is clearly a premium digital picture frame at a very affordable price. . . our new PV1765w still includes all of the industry leading features and customization options that PhotoVu is well known for.”
Wireless/digital photo frames were THE hot gift item last Christmas, and even more so this past Christmas. Get yours while you can; they’re flying off the shelves. Or, go to the PhotoVu website and order yours online.
The PhotoVu PV1765w has tons of fantastic features, but the best feature of all, in my opinion, is the fact that this wireless picture frame is FrameChannel-compatible. With a free FrameChannel account, you’ll be able to program your wireless frame in almost any way imaginable; FrameChannel can take care of it for you!
Remember, all of the BEST wireless digital picture frames are FrameChannel-compatible frames. Therefore, the PhotoVu PV1765w is one of the BEST wireless digital picture frames on the market!
If you didn’t get one for Christmas, maybe you’ll get one for New Year’s. Actually, ANY time is a good time to get a wireless digital picture frame!
