The new Cagic digital picture frame, with its 8.4-inch 800 x 600 touchscreen display, a mini USB port and two separate SD card slots, is a classy and elegant addition to any home’s decor.
This frame is easy to set up, simple to use, and beautiful to look at. Add to these things your own personal photographs in a slideshow and you’re got a centerpiece of personal sentiment for your room.
It’s made of solid brushed aluminum and natural hardwood, with your choice of three finishes. Simply lovely.
The Cagic digital picture frame is an ideal gift for someone who isn’t computer savvy. In fact, you don’t even have to own a computer to be able to use the Cagic picture frame! The price is approximately $180.00, and it’s worth every penny of it.
So go ahead and get one for your grandmother. Stick a picture-filled memory card or flash drive in it, wrap it up, and give it to her. She’ll be able to figure out how to plug it in and turn it on, and that’s pretty much all there is to using the Cagic digital picture frame. It’s the PERFECT GIFT!
I’ve blogged about Toshiba digital picture frames before, but Toshiba has introduced another frame that merits a blogpost of its own: the Toshiba Tekbright digital picture frame.
We are a picture-taking society; few of us go anywhere without a digital camera in tow, but what do we do with all of those wonderful pictures once we’ve put them on our computers in a file or photo-sharing website? Most of the time, we forget all about them, that’s what.
This won’t happen if you have a digital picture frame! You’ll be able to see all of your pictures, in rotation in a slideshow, whenever the frame is turned on. If you’re like me, your frame will be turned on all the time; in fact, I never turn mine off! If I have to get up in the night, I really like to see my pictures as I walk past my wireless frame to the kitchen. I think seeing my pictures even influences my dreaming, in a positive way!
The Toshiba Tekbright digital frame has a row of blue LED-light touch-sensitive buttons across the bottom of the frame, which I think gives the frame a futuristic look that I really like. You can load your pictures into this frame with almost any memory card or flash drive, directly from your computer with the included USB cable, or by uploading a LOT of pictures into the 64MB of internal memory. That’s a lot of pictures, folks!
The Toshiba Tekbright digital picture frame not only shows pictures and videos; it also has a clock, calendar, and Mp3 player! The 7-inch LCD touchscreen display makes configurations easy, and lets you view your pictures and videos clearly even from across the room.
This new Toshiba Tekbright frame isn’t available in the States yet, but keep watching this space!
What we have here is the GeCube Genie Tablet Jr.
It’s a hybrid.
When you want it to be a wireless laptop computer, it’s a wireless laptop computer.
When you don’t need a wireless laptop computer, just detach the screen and put it on the back of your piano, and you’ve got a wireless digital picture frame.
The GeCube Genie Tablet is a Linux tablet computer that moonlights as a wireless digital picture frame. Cool!
The mouse is mounted on the back of the screen, so even though it doesn’t have an actual touchscreen, you can do the basics without the keyboard. The Genie PC has a 300MHz Intel processor, and 256M of ram with 2G of storage for your files, pictures, and whatnot.
The screen is 800 x 480: very bright!
This little GeCube Genie Tablet laptop computer/wireless digital picture frame is a very inexpensive way of putting both a computer AND a wireless digital photo frame in almost every room of your house.
The keyboard is made of rubber. You could even put one of these in your bathroom.
It’s a great way to do some light websurfing all around the house, and to have access to a wireless picture frame when you’ve finished surfing!
All this, and a bag of chips, for only $279.00. The GeCube Genie Tablet will be available this spring.

Business Standard tells us that by 2011, half of all digital frames sold worldwide will be wireless, according to Parks Associates, and the new Shogo frame is - naturally - WIRELESS.
The Shogo frame is also one of the few wireless digital picture frame with a touchscreen, which makes for very easy programming.
According to Matthew Heidenreich of Weooza.com, “A price has not yet been announced for it but the firm says they will start popping up in retail stores very soon.”
Shogo can access pictures from your Flickr and Picasa accounts; I’m waiting to find out if the wireless Shogo frame can also access pictures from a FrameChannel account.
I have Flickr, and I have Picasa, and I have FrameChannel, and of the three, FrameChannel is by far the best.
Shogo will introduce its new wireless digital picture frame at CES and MacWorld this month.
