Digital photo frames are really cool, especially with the growing number of camera phone or digital camera owners. The eStarling LCD Photo Frame is one that stands out with its WiFi and Flickr support.
Once a Flickr photo feed is setup, the 5.6-inch eStarling photo frame can be set to grab the feed via WiFi and put any JPGs and BMPs in its rotation queue. Multiple feeds are also supported.
Photos can also be emailed to a predefined email address, which the photo frame will check at intervals for new photos to be included into its rotation queue. How cool is that?! Imagine taking a photo with your cellphone and sending it to the photo frame at home. A nice way to give your spouse a little surprise!
With its own internal storage, the photo frame is able to store about 30 photos. But this number can be easily increased by inserting an optional MMC/SD card.
The eStarling LCD Photo Frame is available at $249.99 from ThinkGeek. But unfortunately, it’s sold out at the time of this post.
