Pandigital's PAN-150 digiframe
One thing that has been around for along time but never really took off is the digital picture frame. We bought one years ago and were very underwhelmed. The small storage size and the very industrial look of them didn't make them great candidates for display in the living room. Well as the years have gone on companies continue to try and improve these products by adding more storage, more interactivity and better frames.
The Pandigital PAN-150 [engadget] is one of the newest digital frames on the market and its sure to make a large impact. Just look at some of the features:
- 1,024 x 768 resolution
- 256MB of internal memory
- built-in USB port
- MPEG1/4, AVI, and MP3 playback support
- integrated stereo speakers
- and works with: SD, xD, MSPro, MSDuo, CF, and MMC flash cards
Unlike other products in this line you don't hook this directly up to your computer, instead you insert media and store the photos internally. This is a nice change since in the past when you wanted to update the frame you not only had to move it to where your computer was you also had to find the cable.
While this isn't shipping yet Amazon has a bunch of their smaller products here and here.
