Pandigital’s AT&T-lovin’ Photo Mail LED frame hands-on

Posted by admin at 6:28 am

It looks like pretty much every other 8-inch digital photo frame on the market, but unlike most others (the Cameo notwithstanding), Pandigital’s Photo Mail LED frame can accept emailed photos over AT&T’s network. Unlike the aforesaid Cameo, however, you’re not asked to pay a monthly fee to keep this one online (it ships with 300 photo downloads, with extra bundles available when you need them), and the representative we spoke with hinted that this one might just be the first of many more with AT&T in different shapes and sizes. The user interface was simple enough to navigate, and we were told that photos emailed to the frame actually hit a linked Snapfish account first (where the high resolution version is stored), resized, and then beamed down to the frame. Have a closer look below if you’re so inclined.

Casio ’s just announced a new digital photo frame — the Digital Art Frame. This one, unlike most others, is meant to put a little spark of creativity into your photo-boasting sessions. The 10.2-inch, WSVGA color LCD frame boasts 2GB of internal memory, two SD cards slots, a USB output, and Wireless LAN connectivity. In addition, it boasts about seven “effects,” including painting techniques of the masters such as pointillism, gothic, and pastel. Hey, scoff if you must, but making our photos from college parties we went to look like oll paintings sounds a bit fun to us, now that we’re… older. The Casio Digital Art Frame will be available in the spring of 2010, but we don’t have any pricing information yet — we’ll let you know when we do. Check out the gallery for the full array of effects, and if that’s still not enough for you, hit the press release after the break.

Pandigital Photo Mail LED frame lets you email snaps over AT&T’s wireless network

Posted by admin at 10:25 am

If there is such a thing as a digital photo frame specialist, Pandigital might very well be it. It should come as no surprise then, that the company has just announced a new cellular-connected product to compete with the forthcoming Vizit frame . Focused on making photo sharing as easy as possible, this new 8-inch LED-backlit display comes with an AT&T cellular connection and associated email account, making the process of getting pictures on it effortless — and sufficiently remote to let you drop photos off with grandma without having to actually be there. The first 300 mailed snaps are free, at which point you’ll have to choose between the 6-in-1 card reader or paying a per-pic charge for further emailing to the 1GB of built-in memory. Costing a cent under $150, the Photo Mail frame will be finding store shelves early this year — skip past the break if you want to learn more.

A smart way to obviate windshield snow-scraping duty

Posted by admin at 4:14 pm

I dislike scraping snow off of windshields, because I can never reach that spot in the middle without leaning against the snow-covered car and eventually winding up with melting snowflakes on my lap in the driver’s seat. So here’s a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that life hack from One Man’s Blog : Before a snow storm, throw a tarp–or heck, an artfully-slit garbage bag–across your windshield. Before putting it on, deploy the wipers and turn them off mid-way, so you can use the arms to secure the cover. In the photo above, it looks like he’s also drawn the edges of the tarp inside the car and shut the door on them to hold it in place. Clever! (more…)

Samsung’s Pine Trail-boasting N220 netbook spied in France

Posted by admin at 10:53 pm

We’ve been seeing a fair amount of netbooks equipped with Intel’s Pine Trail platform since they were announced early last week , and it looks like we’re going to be seeing at least one from Samsung in the very near future. This one — the N220 — was just spotted in France. The 10.1-incher packs (as you’d expect) an Atom N450 CPU, GMA 3150 graphics, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth, plus a webcam and a 6 cell battery which should supposedly get around eleven and a half hours of battery life. It comes with Windows 7 installed, and as you can see from the photo, one of the available colors will be glossy green. It’s going for 350 euros in France, so, if the price stays comparable when (and if it) hits North American soil, we can expect it to cost somewhere in the realm of $500.

Remo humanoid hobby robot now available, wherever adorably creepy gifts are sold

Posted by admin at 8:02 pm

We’ve always wanted a really solid humanoid robot of our very own. Remo, a hobby bot recently released in Japan — who boasts two arms and legs and seems to be about the size of a Good Guy doll — could perfectly fit that bill. He’s got pressure sensors in his feet to help out his balance, two sensors in his “eye” section (with two color CCD cameras for image processing), and Bluetooth connectivity for communication with your PC. He also comes with the expressive faceplate you see in the photo — which should definitely keep your nieces and nephews from trying to touch him, anyway. Remo is available in Japan now, but something of this quality is, as you may have guessed, not cheap: he’ll run you
