eStarling Wifi Picture Frame (Verdict: Third Time's the Charm)
You may recall that hapless eStarling picture frame we tested last year at this time, where version 1.0 had a Wi-Fi radio that didn't work for diddly squat. Version 2.0 didn't fare much better with its screen that was so bad it was barely tolerable. Well, we're here to tell you that eStarling has now busted out version 3.0, and this one works.

Next-Gen eStarling Picture Frame Hands On: Did They Fix It?
Remember the eStarling? It's the $249 digital picture frame from Think Geek that promised Wi-Fi connectivity, RSS downloads and the ability to email pictures directly to it, but ruined the Christmases of thousands of people who were sucked in by its false allure. It simply didn't work, so all of them were recalled. Now it's five months later, and we're the first ones to receive the new and improved model. Did they fix it?

ThinkGeek to Make Amends for Defective PF Digital eStarling Photo Frames
The ugly duckling of digital photo frames, the PF Digital eStarling, has gone into full recall mode, where its online retailer ThinkGeek will graciously exchange all of the original defective units that were shipped with a new version 2.0 model sometime next month. It looks like most of the problems with the first version of the eStarling might be solved, except for one: More » -

eStarling Woes: Digital Picture Frame Shipped with Wrong AC Adapter
We continue the saga of our dog-ugly eStarling, where now it appears that the company has shipped us (and thousands of other unfortunate customers) an AC adapter with voltage that's too low for the hapless digital picture frame to communicate more than a few feet via Wi-Fi. Promising to send a suitable replacement in two weeks, meanwhile the company's tech support personnel recommended that we move the eStarling just 1 foot away from our Wi-Fi adapter (installation in our server closet pictured above) in order for it to receive its RSS feeds from Flickr or e-mailed photos.

eStarling Hands-On Update: Buyer Beware
The eStarling digital picture frame arrived late yesterday, and here's a warning: it's even uglier than its unboxing pictures we've seen so far. Its USB dongle sticks out the top like an antenna, and the dog-ugly logo plastered across the top is not removable without marring its finish. More » -

eStarling Digital Picture Frame Hands-On (Verdict: Almost Picture-Perfect So Far)
The long-awaited eStarling digital picture frame is finally available, and now here's the first hands-on review we've seen. The reviewer gives it a big thumbs-up, lauding its Wi-Fi connectivity and easy setup. He also likes the way you can set up an e-mail address that can receive pictures from anyone, but doesn't much care for the fact that it must be either a gmail account or one that's at eStarling.com.

eStarling WiFi Photo Frames are Back From Dead
You all thought they were crunked outta business, but here's eStarling, looking us right in the face with their 7-inch WiFi picture frames. ThinkGeek has a limited edition run of the frames going onsale now. You can email the frame photos, as it'll check a POP account. Or you can have it subscribe to an RSS feed from Flickr, or read SD/MMC cards. $250. This is the real deal: Why buy a digital photo frame unless it updates itself dynamically, too? More » -

eStarling - Just in Time for Mother's Day
It's the same deal every May: I visit Ceiva hoping that they have finally improved on their digital picture frames enough that I can buy one for mom. And every year I'm disappointed, because the Ceiva still has an internal modem that gets jacked into the phone line. Plus, you have to use the "Ceiva Network" to store and organize photos. More »
