Samsung Digital Picture Frame with WiFi

Let me start off this review by admitting that I do not actually own this product. Normally I do not do reviews on products I don’t own or have not used extensively, but in this case it is not so much the product it’s self, but the idea that I like.

While digital picture frames have been around for a couple years, they have just started to become main stream due to lower prices. They come in all shapes and colors and offer so many features; some are almost like mini computers. But a new breed are emerging with an interesting new feature that (and I’ll be honest) I was not to keen on in the beginning, Wi-Fi.

For those of you not familiar with that term, it simply means that this picture frame can connect to the Internet via a Wireless Internet connection.

At first I dismissed this as another useless feature, until my son was born and my parents started bugging me for new pictures every few days of their new grandson.  It dawned on me that this picture frame could serve so many purposes. You see, this frame can be configured to monitor popular online photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Windows Live Space and Facebook. As soon as a picture is uploaded to one of those accounts, the frame automatically downloads it and displays it on the screen.

With this frame, family members could be looking at new pictures of loved ones within a couple minutes of them being taken. Parents that work away from home could have one on their desk and see new pictures show up through the day. It really is an amazing idea for some applications.

I don’t see a lot of use if it is going to be a frame that sits on your mantel, but in some cases it could be one product that brings lots of joy to someone’s day.

Samsung has been making some of the best LCD computer monitors for years now and their Digital Picture Frames are no different, but having never actually used one I cannot vouch for their this particular frame.

If you like the concept but prefer another brand, leave me a note below and I can see how users of that product have rated it.
