Gee – another “Why didn’t someone come up with this earlier” device from Parrot. It’s called the Parrot PHOTO VIEWER and it’s basically a digitial photo frame married with a Bluetooth receiver. Now anyone with a Bluetooth enabled camera phone (or a digital camera) can send their pictures wirelessly to the digital photo frame.

You can store up to 100 pictures within the Parrot PHOTO VIEWER’s 32 MB of internal memory. You can display a single picture with the frame or cycle through all the pictures in a slideshow mode. It’s not a large frame at all – the LCD measures only 3.5 x 4.25 and the frame measures 5 x 6 inches.

  • 320 x 234 resolution with 262K colors
  • Bluetooth 1.2 support
  • Bluetooth BIP, OPP, and FTP profiles
  • Pictures instantly converted to the size of the screen
  • Automatic adjustment of the LCD screen luminosity
  • Portrait or landscape position sensor
  • Light sensor
  • Available in leather or white leaded oake
