Digital picture frames are a still relatively new category of consumer electronics, but already there are too many of them. Choosing can be daunting for consumers. However if you stick with high performing brands from Kodak, Smartparts, or Portable USA, you usually will do fine.
Have you ever wanted to transfer digital pictures from one memory device to another? Do you have a bunch of pictures on a SD memory card and want to move them to another or to a USB flash drive so you can share them with someone else, or put them on another device such as a DVD or Blu-Ray player?
In the video in this post, you will see how to transfer pictures from one memory device to another using a digital photo frame. Here we happen to be using a Kodak 5-inch digital photo frame, but you can do a similar function with most any digital frame available.
We are a big fan of HP digital photo frames. The company is well known for its innovation in personal computing, digital imaging, and a whole host of consumer products. They are also squarely in the digital photo frame market.
The HP DreamScreen 100 and 130 Digital Photo Frames represent their new thrush into this market, and they've done so with HP's usual innovation. These HP DreamScreem digital frames come either with a 10.2" or 13.3" screen with beautiful 800 x 400 LCD resolution. You'll get great features like 2GB of internal memory, a remote control, and a sleek black border, but the additional things this frame can do are what really excite.
Further validating that digital photo frames are a fast growing consumer electronic, Pandigital was recently named #4 on San Francisco Business Times 100 Fastest Growing Private Company List. Pandigital's revenue had hyper revenue growth, going from a $25,111,627 million company in 2005 to a $194,466,627 one in 2008 (674.4% in growth).
Pandigital is one of the hot digital frames companies. Their "digital entertainment products" feature digital photo frames as well as other innovative products such as a 'Kitchen Technology Center', which is basically a digital picture frame, HDTV, and recipe collector all in one wireless device. They also focus on scanning and imaging products.
I'm a huge college football fan, and I attend games almost every weekend. In fact, I tailgate with the same group of friends each week at the same spot at the same school. So how pleasantly surprised was I to find a new tradition brought by someone in the group: bring a digital photo frame each Saturday with pictures from the previous week!
Our tailgate time is treasured, its a time for food, drinks, friends, and football. Usually the weather is beautiful and it makes me and my friends look forward to fall each year. We end up taking a lot of digital pictures and in the past they've been shared via email, or someone's Flickr or Picassa account.
A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), also called a palmtop computer, is a handheld computer. Being the size of a palm, it is compact and easy to carry wherever one goes. It carries out all the basic functions of a computer also. It can be used as web browser, a media player and mobile phone. Availability of Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide-Area Networks allows many PDAs to access the Internet, extranets or intranet.
PDAs are deployed for various kinds of applications across businesses and government organizations. Some of the commonly found applications are package delivery and supply chain management in warehouses, medical treatment and record keeping in hospitals, facilities maintenance and management and ‘wireless waitress’ applications in restaurants and hospitality venues. It is also deployed in meter reading by utilities, route accounting, parking enforcement, capital asset maintenance, and access control and security. Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) devices such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Smart Card Readers, Bar Code, magnetic stripes, voice recognition, biometrics and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) are being incorporated into the PDAs. This is to assist in identifying objects, collecting data about them as well as entering the data automatically.
Digital photo frames are built on the same LCD technology as LCD televisions. The popularity of LCD televisions has exploded especially as consumers switch to HDTV. The clearer, sharper pictures are a must, and at DSF.com, we study HDTV closes as digital photo frames generally follow closely behind. One of our favorite brands is Sony.
The Sony HDTV is different from other kinds of HDTV sets that are available. There are a few different types of the Sony HDTV that you can purchase, but because they are made by Sony, the leader when it comes to technology, you can count on the name and be assured of getting a quality set that will last you for a long time to come. If you're looking for a 55" TV, then we recommend the Sony Bravia L-Series lcd HDTV.
We've posted another video! One of the features we love about the Kodak EASYSHARE collection is the "Quick Touch Border" control system. This unique usability advantage is how all the digital frame functions are driven on the frame, and its difficult to really conceptualize without seeing. So in our latest video we've done an overview of how the Quick Touch Border system works and why it makes Kodak EASYSHARE frames better.
Watch our latest video for an overview of this great Kodak digital photo frame feature.
We've blogged several times about what we think will be major trends with digital photo frames: 1) digital frames used in business and 2) digital frames with streaming media. Well an announcement today by Reality Interactive, LLC caught our eye as an example of both. Seems they've set up a program where banks can use commercially available digital photo frames to stream messages to their patrons in the branch.
If you think about a bank or any financial institution, what better place to take advantage of real time streaming media at a personal level. A perfect application of a digital photo frame.
Several digital frame news outlets and review sites have been intrigued by what is not even a product, but only a concept for a product by Mintpass. This site contains products that dream for "a better world", and their idea for a better digital frame includes one that integrates a digital camera. The idea being that this skips the whole concept of taking pictures on a digital camera and having to worry about the transfer process from camera to frame.
We have to admit, this idea for a digital photo frame actually makes some sense.
We recently did a video with about a 5 minute review of the Kodak P520 EASYSHARE Digital Frame. If you are looking for a basic digital frame and are fine with a 5-inch screen (perfect for a small office desk or room), then the P520 is one you should consider. Its also about as affordable as Kodak digital photo frames get.
