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. 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 »
