Every now and then, you look at your photo frame and you think of all the cool things that a digital photo frame can do. In reality however, when you really think about it, there isn’t much that an ordinary photo frame can do. All they do is slideshow your photos with some nice transition effects, but that’s about it. So along comes a product that really changes everything. This is the Kogan 8” Wi-Fi LCD Digital Photo Frame and yes; it is a photo frame that connects wirelessly to your Internet connection.
It does that so that you can share your photos with your friends and family over the Internet, even if you do not have a computer. Each photo frame comes equipped with its own unique email address and web account. This enables the user to pull their favorite photos from services such as Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and more. In fact, the photo frame can receive an RSS feed of your choice, so the possibilities are actually endless. You can easily follow your favorite photo-blog or a website that regularly updates with photographs.
The 8-inch screen is actually something that is worth talking about, because this photo frame is the only one of its kind to support a native 800×600 resolution at a 4:3 aspect ratio. All other photo frames in the market support lower resolutions and an aspect ratio of 16:9. This is important because most modern cameras take photos with a 4:3 aspect ratio and they are displayed on the other photo frames, there is a total viewing area loss of about 25%. So this photo frame is actually the best photo frame to view your pictures on.
Since each frame has its own unique email id, photos can be mailed to the frame directly! So if you go on trips and want to send the pictures to your relatives, grandparents etc., you can just gift them these frames and then email the pictures directly to them. You can in fact set up one single email address to be shared by multiple frames, so once a picture is sent to that email id, every frame will display it. The frame also has an offline mode when there is no Wi-Fi to connect to. It has a remote, one touch emailing from the frame and 256mb internal memory, which could’ve been a lot bigger actually.
