The International CES isn’t until January 8, 2009, but already the electronics companies are giving us glimpses of what to expect there! Giant’s booth is one you won’t want to miss.
Jacqueline Emigh, of BetaNews, gives us several peeks into some new gadgets, including Giant International’s InTouch wi-fi-capable web access and audio-enabled photo frame.
Emigh tells us that “. . . priced at $349.99, the gadget contains a 7-inch touch TFT LCD display with 800 - by - 480 resolution, along with 128 MB of internal memory, built-in stereo speakers, and a USB port. It also accommodates SD, CF, MS, MMC, and XD-Picture cards. A power adapter is included, but the frame will also run on rechargeable batteries for about 90 minutes.”
The main menu contains icons for photo, media, tools, and RSS news feeds. The feeds can be set up with the use on an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. Giant also holds deals with vTuner for Internet radio and Web video access, and with FrameChannel for end user tools for managing content from Picasa, Flickr, Webshots, Facebook, and other Web sites.”
I’m always excited to hear about a wireless digital frame that is compatible with FrameChannel!
Giant’s sales director for new products, Thomas W. Silveria, tells Emigh in the article that one of Giant’s upcoming products is a system which adds phone functionality to the existing frame.

Many of you are sending your son or daughter off to college this week, and did you ever imagine having so much stuff in YOUR dorm room back in the day? I considered myself lucky to have a window fan, and my daughter is leaving tomorrow with a microwave oven, and little refrigerator, a toaster, a TV, and DVD player, a computer, a stereo system, and a wireless digital picture frame.
Me, personally, I think the wireless picture frame is what she’ll enjoy the most.
Her dorm is wireless, so we got her a Digital Spectrum MF 8104, the same as I have at home. I’ve not had a single problem with it and I can happily and honestly recommend it to all of you, too. I’ll be able to send digital pictures to her with lightning rapidity, and she can send them to me, too. She’s in the process of setting up a FrameChannel account for herself, too; it’s the best content provider out there.
She’s going to subscribe to the local hometown news and her new college news. She was scrolling through the dozens and dozens of FrameChannel RSS channel choices as I left for the grocery store and when I returned, she wasn’t finished checking all of them out yet!  She’s going to let FrameChannel handle her Facebook pictures, too.
If you have a child who is leaving home for college, think about geting him/her a wireless digital photo frame. It’s an excellent way to keep in touch.

There’s one thing that all wireless/digital picture frames have in common:Â they all need to be located near an electrical outlet.
Actually, not any more. . . .
The Eneregizer rechargeable battery for digital photo frames lets you place your wireless/digital picture frame pretty much wherever you want it, whether they’re a nearby outlet or not.
This rechargeable battery is compatible withi most 9V and 12V digital picture frames, and includes five interchangeable tips to make sure one of them is a correct match to your particular wireless/digital photo frame. Â The battery uses the keyhole slot on the back of your digital frame, for convenient mounting.
The Energizer battery is easy to charge; just plug it in! The AC adapter is included.
The battery pack weighs about two pounds, and adds about two inches to the back of the frame. What a cool thing to have, especially when you’ve got company and you’d really rather not have that electric cord showing!
