”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 »
Digital Picture Frames Meet Pet Urns
Digital Picture frames have been gaining in popularity lately, marrying convenience of having multiple pictures in one frame with the inconvenience of teaching old people how to use them. What's even better about this version is that it's for your pets. Your dead pets.

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]USB Photo Frame Speakers Are Classier Than The Original
We've seen photo frame speakers before, but this Brookstone version looks much, much classier. Gone is the birch-colored 1970s-style wood, and in is a dark, black finish. The principal is the same: two photo frames that hold a 6" x 4" photo each, that also plug into your computer's USB port and act like speakers. Audiophiles won't enjoy the sound quality at all, but it's a neat integration of two things that are already on your desk. [Brookstone via Everything USB]RED Launches 5K RED EPIC Flagship Camera
RED just announced their new RED EPIC flagship video camera at NAB, which uses a new, full-frame S35mm Mysterium X sensor. The Mysterium X matches the quality of 35mm film at 5k resolution and one ups the 4k Mysterium sensor found in the RED ONE. The EPIC can also shoot framerates up to 100 FPS.

Picture Frame Shows Which of Your IM and Skype Friends Are Online
We absolutely love it when cyberspace and meatspace intersect, which is why we're enthused over this Online Notification Picture Frame. It's a DIY project that connects via some interface (the guy doesn't say) to a computer, which feeds online status information back to the display. If a person's online, the LED next to his photo lights up. We'd prefer it if this were a more digital solution like an actual photo frame that dynamically displayed the pictures of people who were online, but this is a good start.

Kodak Quick Touch Digital Photo Frames Are Ticklish on the Side
Kodak's Quick Touch photo frames don't quite go all the way on being touchscreen, though they're spinning that as a plus, since you don't leave grimy fingerprints on your screen. Instead, the border itself is a touchpad, so you can scroll through pics with swipes of your finger. More »

USB Hub Photo Frame Misses Crucial Digital Parts
There are ways and means to add some interest to a USB hub, but Evergreen's new Picture Frame Hub misses all of them. Sure, everyone could do with four extra USB ports from time to time, and having a picture of your loved one on your desk is always good. But combined? And with a light behind the photo? Nope, it just doesn't work. All it makes you want is a real digital photo frame. But, if it still floats your boat, it's available soon for $24.91. [Geekstuff4u via Akihabaranews]Show Off Your TV, Audio-Video Gear's Beauty: Frame it
With flat-screen TVs becoming more elegant and less "boring black box," perhaps we're ready for the kind of Pimp My Lounge styling that Vismara Design's Media Center frames offer. Turning your TV and audio-video system into a sort of giant art installation-cum-digital picture frame, they're available now in baroque or art deco styles, in silver and gold. There's even a matching DVD shelf available. Awesome, I say. Now I just have to buy a TV worthy of framing. And a bigger apartment. And probably win the lottery to pay for it, though we don't know exactly how much these cost. [Trendir]
SatNav system for Zimmer Frames for Those Senior Moments
So, gadgeteers, this is what we will be reduced to riding around on by the year 2080. Developed by the University of Arnhem-Nijmegen in Holland, the Zimmer SatNav is for either olds, amnesiacs or for people whose sense of direction is so poor that they get lost on their way to the bathroom. More »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.

GSM Picture Frame, For Spies and Voyeurs
Here's a scary simple way to bug a room for $250. The GSM Bug Frame is an innocent looking accessory that features a microphone and built-in GSM phone. With batteries lasting two weeks on standby, you can call its number any time to eavesdrop for your surely innocent intentions. While a completely silent, one-way call may be stealthy-delicious to you right now, trust us, that missing built in speaker will only make your silent shouts all the more painful as you hear confirmation of why your mailman always gets a hand-knit sweater for Christmas.

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 »

Leica M8 Getting Full-Frame Sensor at Photokina?
Even though a Leica rep explicitly told us at PMA that there would be no M9 or M10—Leica plans to perpetually upgrade the Inspector Gadget of digital cameras, the M8, instead—some customers received a letter from the big L that a full-frame M camera is on the way. More »

An Unfortunate Grope of SmartParts' Fugly Digital Photo Frame/Printer
Digital photo frames were the spammiest product spam at CES, lurking around every corner with their crappiness so I still have a biley taste in my mouth. SmartParts' efforts to pile crappy function atop crappy function with a built-in photo printer, unsurprisingly just amounts to one big crapgasm. On the front, it looks like any other generic frame, but peer behind its faux-elegant bezel and you'll see some serious junk in the trunk.

Sony's first LCD photo frames ever have 800x480 displays (DVD res, which leads me to believe these were sourced from DVD players). The frames can scale photos down from up to 48MB, which would be good for transferring JPGs and even RAW files directly from a camera's memory card without a intervening PC session.

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.
