Parrot Specchio Wireless Digital Picture Frame: Where Art and Technology Meet

This coming November 2009, be ready to welcome the Parrot Specchio, a new wireless digital picture frame that is not only technologically great but also aesthetically pleasing!

Noted contemporary artist Martin Szekely, “master of minimalism,” together with Parrot Electronics, has designed a wireless digital picture frame that is absolutely beautiful.

Bluetooth fans, rejoice, for the Parrot Specchio is compatible with all things Bluetooth, as well as your home or business WiFi connections and Near Field Communication.

You can also, of course, use any SD memory card or a direct miniUSB port connection to see pictures on your Parrot Specchio.

Part of the beauty of the wireless Parrot Specchio is that when you turn it off, it becomes a mirror.

Seriously, this wireless digital picture frame has more ways to display pictures than most other wireless frames.  With the Near Field Communication, you can hold your NFC mobile phone against the back of the frame and any pictures on it will be immediately displayed on the picture frame!  Not many consumer electronics are using NFC yet, beyond beta, so Parrot is very innovative in putting this feature on the new wireless digital picture frame.

You can even check your email on your wireless Parrot Specchia picture frame!  The frame has enough internal memory to store approximately 1500 pictures, and the wireless limits are, well, limitless!

More technical specs will be available in a few weeks.  Keep checking right here on this blog!

The wireless Parrot Specchio digital picture frame will be available in November 2008 for approximately $500.00.

Motorola and Kodak Present the Wireless Digital Motozine ZN5!

From TWICE comes the news that Motorola and Kodak have joined forces with their new 5 megapixel cameraphone, the ZN5.

The Motozine ZN5 is a fully functional Kodak camera, and when you use it, you can automatically download the pictures from the camera to your computer the moment you take them, or, you can save them for later.  Once on the computer, you can utilize the Kodak Gallery and all of the Kodak picture functions. 4 gigs of expandable memory give you plenty of room for tons of pictures.

You can also download your pictures to almost any other picture-sharing website.  I recommend, naturally, FrameChannel.  Of course, you can also store your pictures on the Kodak site, or Picasa, or Flickr, or Google, or, actually, anywhere on the net, and still use FrameChannel to manage them.  Once on FrameChannel, or any picture site, your wireless digital picture frame will immediately begin to include the new pictures in its slideshow!

Your Kodak/Motorola camera will upload your pictures to any wireless digital picture frame you tell it to; whether it’s yours in your own living room, or Grandma’s a thousand miles away.  How cool is that?

Wifi, Bluetooth, MMS. . . . or a direct Kodak Gallery upload. . . Think of the many options the Motozine ZN5 offers!

A Wireless Digital Picture Frame: The Perfect Father’s Day Gift!

Father’s Day is just eleven days away, and I can tell you right now that your dad doesn’t need any more ties or socks.  What your father would really like to have this year is a wireless/digital picture frame.

Think about it.  Most men like to keep a picture frame on their desks at work, but looking at that same picture day after day has got to get a little old after a while.  A wireless/digital picture frame in that same spot would give Dad a different picture every time he looked at it!  Each child, the spouse, the partner, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, pets, vacations, house, yard, sports scores, weather, headlines. . . . you name it, and your dad could be looking at it right there on his wireless/digital picture frame.

If your dad’s den or workplace has WiFi, you can connect him to a FrameChannel account, which would bring almost the entire world right into the frame!

(I love FrameChannel; that’s where I get all my news, weather, and aesthetics these days!)

So remember:  Your dad wants a wireless/digital picture frame for Father’s Day.  No tie.  No socks.  WIRELESS DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME.  Really, he does.
