Sony Introduces Its Newest Wireless Digital Picture Frame: the VAIO CP1

Just yesterday, Sony introduced its newest wireless digital picture frame, the VAIO(R) CP1 Wi-Fi photo frame.

What will the wi-fi technology in this frame do for you?  Plenty!

A wireless digital frame can stream photographs, videos, music, and anything with an RSS feed directly from your computer to your picture frame.

Xavier Lauwaert, product manager for VAIO product marketing at Sony, says, “How many times have you uploaded images to your PC - vowing to share them - never to see them again?  this new frame provides an easy way to retrieve and share these precious memories that otherwise would have been forgotten.”

Sony’s newest wi-fi digital frame can connect to Google and Picasa, allowing you to view any or all of the pictures you’ve stored there.

Besides all the magical wireless capabilities, the Sony VAIO CP1 can also display images from most memory sticks or SD cards, and if you have a digital SLR camera, you can use your CompactFlash(R) media card.

Or, you can just upload up to 100 digital pictures directly to the frame; it’s got 128MB of internal storage.

This frame’s RSS reader will let you view headlines, entertainment, weather, sports scores, and countless other information - in real time - from the internet.

You can listen to your favorite podcasts on this frame, too.

The Sony VAIO CP1 digital photo frame keeps your pictures and slideshows organized, too.  According to the press release on the SunHerald.com website, “Content is grouped into sections called “frames,” making it easy to enjoy photos, information and music.  You can choose from Slideshow - for movie-like presentations, Flow - which creates a slideshow with fun, special-effects, and Dissolve - a more traditional view that fades images into one another.”

The new Sony VAIO CP1 wireless digital photo frame will retail for about $300.00, and will be available in mid-October.

Happy Independence Day from FrameMedia and FrameChannel!

We here at FrameMedia and Framechannel want to wish you all a very happy Fourth of July!

The 4th always has great picture moments; take advantage of them, and snap enough pictures so that you can make a new channel on FrameChannel, for your friends and family to subscribe to, so everybody can experience togetherness on the Fourth of July, 2008!

My camera’s battery is recharging tonight, so it will be ready for the picture-taking frenzy tomorrow afternoon!

Stay safe, watch your fingers, practice your “oohs” and “ahhs,” and think about what makes our nation great.

FrameChannel Will Manage All Of Your Pictures and Other Interests

I’m sure you’ve all seen this symbol as you’ve surfed the web.  Almost every website carries this symbol now, and it’s to its advantage to do so.

It’s to YOUR advantage when websites have this symbol, too.  Any website that has this symbol on it anywhere (it will usually be in the url as well as somewhere on the page itself) can be turned into a channel, updated regularly, and shown on your wireless digital picture frame.

FrameChannel, as I’m sure you know by now, is the very best content provider in existence.  With a FrameChannel account, you can subscribe to any or all of the dozens of fantastic channels already being offered, AND you can make your own channels with your own personal photographs, AND you can let FrameChannel manage any RSS feed, too!

In other words, FrameChannel can turn any website displaying the RSS symbol into a channel for you.

FrameChannel was already the most versatile, easy-to-use content provider,  managing photos and other content (sports scores, museum pictures, NASA, etc.) from all of the major picture sites on the web.

From the FrameChannel website itself:  “Add a text based RSS feed from your favorite news site or blog and FrameChannel will convert those headlines to images, update the channel regularly and display the news headlines and story summary on your wireless picture frame.”

What could be easier?  Or cooler?

Just get yourself a FrameChannel account and let it manage all of your photographs and interests.

D-Link DSM-210 Has FrameChannel Access

The brand-new D-Link DSM-210 wireless digital picture frame has many useful, easy-to-use, and in fact GREAT features, but what makes me happiest about it is the fact that it is FrameChannel-compatible.

FrameChannel is, in my I’ve-been-using-it-faithfully-for-a-while-now opinion, the BEST picture program of them all. The D-Link frame can utilize it, and this, along with many other cool aspects, makes the D-Link frame a very high-ranking wireless frame, in my book. FrameChannel access has simply got to be one of the many, many reasons the Wi-Fi Photo Frame DSM-210 by D-Link has been awarded the Design and Engineering Awards by the CEA (Consumer Electronics Association).

This new wireless frame will be available soon - in the first quarter of 2008 - and it will cost only $249.00!

Here is the DSM-210 press release on the D-Link website.
