Sony to Release 80GB Networked Digital Photo Album
Sony is set to release a rather unique product dubbed the HDMS-S1D( great name we know ). This puppy is a self contained digital photo archiver. There is an internal 80GB hard drive that can store roughly 50,000 images. You can import your photos various ways whether it be by flash drive, USB or Ethernet. It will hook up to your TV via HDMI, Component, S-Video, or Composite. With this output ability anyone can hook this up and start enjoying their digital photo library on their TV. Full specs aren't out so we aren't sure if the Ethernet port will allow you to house your photos somewhere else and stream them or just be able to copy over your network to the device. Either way this looks to be a really slick device. You can use either:
to load photos so this should jive with just about everyones style. It also looks like you could plug your camera directly into the device via a mini-USB port and push pictures to the hard drive.
Along with just the basics of being a place to hold all of your photos it also offers some minimal editing, you can also rotate, delete and group photos. This should be available sometime this month for $400. We are going to try and get our hands on one and let you know how it works. Sony has released some questionable products in the media streaming world, we are curious where this ranks.
