”Asus Photo Frame Lets You Use It As a Secondary Display
The UFOTO UF735, a digital photo frame from Asus, has another use than just holiday snaps: its sub-display function lets you hook it up to your computer and use it as a secondary display. The seven-inch hi-res (800 x 480) screen has 128MB of internal memory, a USB 2.0 port and earphone jack, and supports CF/SD/MMC/MS/xD memory cars and USB Flash Drive. Available in pink, blue and silver, there's no indication on pricing or availability just yet. [Akihbara News]More »
Photowatch: Strap-On Digital Picture Frame and Wristwatch
A half-way house between a digital watch and those crazy do-it-all multimedia watches, the digital photo frame watch may actually appeal to more people. The built-in memory can store 60 photos and it can superimpose the time in analog or digital format over the top. And that's all it does: simple. It charges through USB, lasting about 8 hours —its main drawback, perhaps— and is Mac and PC compatible. In leather and stainless steel, it'll set you back $99.95. [EverythingUSB]Polaroid Instant Digital Picture Frame Is the Only Frame I Want
The Polaroid instant digital picture frame is just that, a digital screen in the shape and size of an old Polaroid instant photo (my favorite.) It may not seem as ingenious as the Digital Jewel Box, but we can't resist its retro charm, and the possibility of writing messages on its dry erase surface. Not to talk about pinning them to a cork board or the way it shows the images themselves.

Telepresence Frame: A Black Box for Life Support Patients
Someone finally found a good use for a digital picture frame. The Telepresence Frame by Revital Cohen displays a live-feed of a patient's vital stats for his or her entire family to see. Cohen, an artist studying the increasing relationship between humans and machines, shows through the frame that a patient on life support is made up of more than flesh and bones, and has become one with the gadgets surrounding them. That's nice and all, but what happens when the life support ends is downright freaky.More »
Prinics' Digital Photo Frame Has Onboard Printer, Speakers, Plays 'Baby Got Back'
What's better than a digital photo frame that takes in SD, MS, MMC and XD cards to plaster your loved ones on an 8-inch LCD? One that also includes a photo printer on board. The back of this PhotoBox has a 300x300dpi printer, which shoots out snaps at a rate of 1 every 42 seconds. As an especially tacked-on bonus, there are speakers on the back that play back WMA audio (or the audio from AVI files). Available now for an unspecified amount of Korean Won.

GE Photo Phone Matches Faces to Voices With Caller ID
I got a sneek peak at GE's upcoming phone line, including the slick Photo Phone that will be introduced at CES2008. The phone combines a traditional cordless phone with a 7-inch digital photo frame, and includes picture caller ID. The feature, which is commonly found on cellphones, allows you to assign a picture to a phone number so that you'll not only see the caller's number, but also their face. More »Ovoid Digital Photo Frame is Not Exactly Excellent
You can tell digital photo frames are getting to be a commodity item when designers go far afield, even creating egg-shaped units to adorn the desktops of novelty-crazed grandmas and their minions. But eggs, yeah, chicks like them, don't they? That notwithstanding, this one has such a tiny screen you almost need a microscope to see it—a 1.5-inch color display on which to show your JPEG and BMP photos.

Parrot DF7700 MMS Digital Photo Frame Shows Pics from Cellphones
Here's one more way to send photos to a digital photo frame: The Parrot DF7700 thinks it's a cellphone—it even has its own phone number—and you can send it pics in an MMS message from any other cellphone. Its 7-inch frame (a similar 7" Bluetooth-friendly frame is pictured here) is big enough to show you just how bad that camera is in your cellphone, and that's not even saying anything about the situations that might be depicted in such photos sent from afar. Like other Parrot frames, in addition to letting you input photos in the conventional method via memory card, this one is chameleon-like, shipping with a leather frame but letting you swap that out for any of its other optional finishes. Pricing wasn't announced, but the DF770 will be available in the U.S. by the end of this year. [Yahoo]

Mustek PF-A1020BC Frame Comes With Changeable Faceplates
If all digital photo frames are starting to look alike, try this Mustek PF-A1020BC with its big 10-inch LCD and swappable frames, coming with silver, "frosted white," or Mahogany faceplates. Pictures should look pretty nice as the 9.5-inch viewable area displays at a 720 x 480 resolution, and you can store around 45 JPEGs thanks to the frame's internal memory. But are the pretty colors going to be able to justify the frame's $200 price tag? More »
