Pandigital announces the PanTouch Clear 10.4 inch digital photo frame – the thinnest digital photo frame on the market measuring a mere 1/3rd of an inch thin. How do they achieve this?

• LCD “floats” in surrounding glass
• Full touch-screen interface on fingerprint resistant glass
• Easy to understand icons
• 1024 x 768 resolution
• 4:3 aspect ratio

Remember the days of passing around a photo album? Come on.. you remember what that was like right? Flip through a small album while your friend next to you waits for you to finish up. Pass it on when you’re done and work on the next album.  Seems like a long time ago doesn’t it?

Well, the folks at Digital Foci are trying to revive the photo album by bringing it to the world of digital images with the announcement of the “Photo Book”. Think of it as a slim portable digital picture frame encased in a soft leather-like (a.k.a. it’s not leather) case. Powered by a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, the Photo Book operates up to 2.5 hours, comes with an 8 inch 800 x 600 LCD color display, and a whopping 4 GB of internal memory.

Photo Book supports a number of picture transfer methods. You can transfer photos using a memory card or a USB flash drive OR you can connect the album directly to a computer via a USB cable and then transfer content that way. Memory card support includes CF, SD, SDHC, MMC, xD-Picture Card, Memory Stick, and MSPRO.

You can organize your picture content by albums and choose a specific album to view on the Photo Book. Yes, it even supports slideshow views with a supposed “elegant page-turning effect” (we’ll reserve final judgment until we actually see that effect).

More importantly, the Photo Book supports RAW images from high-end digital SLR cameras (though remember – you’re dealing with a display that has a resolution of 800 x 600). Other notable features for the Photo Book include:

• Copy albums directly from memory cards for USB flash drives to internal memory without needing a computer.
• Displays each photo album with folder name and photo preview.
• Optional displays show photo file name and slideshow counter.
• Run automatic Full-Screen or Photo Book photo Slideshows with adjustable time intervals.
• Scroll photos manually with zoom and rotate functions.
• Supported image formats – JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, RAW image files from a wide selection of DSLR cameras.
• Automatic photo orientation based on EXIF data.
• Supported audio formats – MP3, AAC, WMA – music will play in the background during photo slideshow .
• Supported video formats – MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 SP.
• Built-in 1 channel, 1.4W speaker.
• Runs on rechargeable Lithium polymer battery with 2.5 hours of battery life.

The Digital Foci Photo Book will be coming out in May at a price of $189. Expect to find the Photo Book at places like Amazon.com and Adorama.com.

LG Electronics is out with three new digital photo frames – the 7 inch F7000N-PN, the 8.4 inch F8400N-PN, and the 10.4 inch F1040N-PN. Information is scarce at this time but it’s a good bet the frames support photos, video, and audio playback. While I’d like to believe the frame supports the “viewing of DVDs”, somehow I think Weblog Surf got it wrong. BTW – did anyone notice the broken English on the site? Anyhow.. I digress… It’s probably good enough to know that LG is releasing new frames.

Sony Ericsson is getting into the digital photo frame business with the introduction of the new IDP-100  Digital Photo Frame. The move makes sense since a frame makes an ideal companion product to a Sony Ericsson phone – especially one with a high resolution camera. If you’re buying a new Sony Ericsson phone, why not also get a Sony Ericsson picture frame right?

Sony Ericsson makes it easy to transfer digital photos from the mobile phone to the digital photo frame by allowing for transfer by Bluetooth, USB flash memory, M2 card, microSD card, SD card, or MemoryStick Duo card. Once pictures are uploaded to the IDP-100, the frame automatically rotates, enhances, and re-sizes the images to fit the frame. Other features of the IDP-100  include the following:

• 7 inch WVGA screen
• Built-in Bluetooth support
• M2 Memory Stick and USB compatible
• 140 degree viewing angle
• 10,000 hour lifetime before reaching 50 % brightness
• 200cd/m2 brightness
• 800 x 480 resolution
• 128MB of storage space
• Weighs 320 grams and measures 205 x 145 x 25mm

The Sony Ericsson IDP-100 Digital Photo Frame will be coming out in Q4 of this year in a dark grey color. No word on pricing.

It seems that digital photo frames are following a course similar to USB flash drives. As more vendors enter into this space, the more varied the products become. Just like a USB flash drive is more than just a simple USB flash drive these days, chances are a new digital photo frame will do more than just displaying pictures. Case in point – the Hammacher Schlemmer Digital Weather Station and Photo Frame. While it’s not the Swiss Army knife of digital photo frames, this display certainly adds a unique feature not commonly found on frames – your local weather report – and we do mean local!

The unit comes with an wireless remote outdoor sensor which you attach outside of your home. It then sends weather data directly to your display (with a wireless reach of around 100 feet) so you’ll know what’s going on directly outside of your home. Measurements include indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, phase of the moon, times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, etc.

Other specs include:

• 7 inch TFT display
• 480 x 234 resolution
• 300:1 contrast ratio
• 128MB internal memory
• Support for CF, SD, MMC, MS, and xD memory cards
• Built-in alarm clock which syncs with atomic clock
• Measures 7.5 x 8.75 x 4 inches

The frame has an MSRP of $199.95 – a bit expensive for a low res display.
