life support
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.

Dealzmodo: 1.5-inch Digital Picture Frame Keychain for $20
This Coby Keychain LCD is about 50% off at Amazon. It holds "62 photos" in undisclosed amounts of memory, but with a 1.5-inch screen, you're not talking more than postage-stamp-sized shots anyhow. Anyone ever try one of these? [Amazon]
estarling frame vindicated
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.

egg frame
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.

design concept
Designer Jin Woo Han figured if you want both a digital camera and a digital picture frame, why not put them together and display the pictures with the same device you used to capture them? In this design concept Han calls the Samsung SS 700, he determined a happy medium size where the point-and-shoot camera is not too large and the picture frame isn't too small.

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? More »

PMA 07: Pandigital 15" Frame, Thinner But with a Huge Honkin' Screen
Sure, there are digital picture frames popping up everywhere, but this Pandigital model just rolled out here at PMA 2007 is different. First of all, it's huge, 15 inches diagonal with a 1024x768 screen. That's a 4:3 aspect ratio, a slight disadvantage since most photos aren't taken in that shape, but the unit's firmware cuts off the sides without distorting the image, and its results are excellent. It's a sharp, clear image with excellent colors and no visible pixelization. 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 - 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.
