Huawei Technologies Proposes Launch of SIM -Enabled Digital Photo Frames

Some interesting news is coming out of China-based Huawei Technologies: there are plans to launch Sim-card-enabled digital photo frames in Taiwan.

According to the DigiTimes, “Huawei has held talks with a number of telecom carriers in Taiwan, and some of the telecom operators may introduct SIM-enabled digital photo frames in Taiwan in the third quarter of this year. . . .”

Apparently, Huawei Technologies is currently in talks with several Taiwan companies and wants to launch SIM-enabled digital photo frames as soon as possible. Krunker.com tells us that “With mobile phones fast replacing home phones, it’s only natural to see more and more convergence among different consumer electronics. Combining a digital photo frame with mobile phone technology is similar to caller ID photos appearing on mobile phones themselves – except with much higher resolutions.”

Sounds like a great idea to me!

The Parrot DF7700: The Waiting Is Almost Over!

I’ve posted before about the upcoming Parrot DF7700 wireless digital picture frame, and it looks like the waiting is almost over!

CNet Reviews’ Kent German informs us that this amazing Parrot wireless digital photo frame will be unveiled at this week’s CTIA.

According to Mr. German, “. . .the Parrot DF7700 is the first digital photo frame (as least that we know of) with an integrated SIM card and dedicated phone number. The phone number will allow you to send photos directly from your camera phone to the DF7700.”

The Parrot DF7700 wireless photo frame comes in both black leather or brown leather. The 7-inch display features 720 x 480 pixels, and supports 262,000 colors. Various features include adjustable backlighting and automatic photo orientation. This frame can hold up to 500 images in JPEG or GIF format, and when you use the wireless features, the number of pictures are, of course, unlimited.

Still no price available, but by this time next week, Parrot is sure to disclose it.
