ViewSonic Releases Nine New Digital Photo Frames this 2009
ViewSonic apparently wanted to surprise everyone in CES through the unveiling of nine new digital photo frames.
The new photo frames: 7-inch VFM735-52M, 8-inch VFM835-52M and 10-inch VFM1035W-52M and 10” VFM1036w-52M; 7-inch VFD720-12M, 8-inch VFD820-12M and 10.4-inch VFD1020-12M; and two All-in-One digital photo frames.
We don’t want you to memorize the product codes so to hear it is. The first three digital photo frames are part of the so-called SwifTouch, sliding and partial touch control frames collection. From the title itself, the frames have sliding function and partial touch screen feature. Users can adjust the frame’s settings with a sleek and easy-to-use interface. The collection uses 4:3 aspect ratio displays that intelligently avoid distortion.
The fourth photo frame is an extended SwifTouch, sliding and partial touch control frames. Aside from the already mentioned features, this one packs multimedia capacity that plays MP3 and video formats.
The next collection is the wooden digital frames: 7” (VFD720-12M), 8” (VFD820-12M) and 10.4” (VFD1020-12M) units. Whoever said that you can’t mix high-tech and well, wood?! These models have unique designs and persona to match every user, including his office or home.
The all-in-one collection is more than digital photo frames. They are alarm clock, AM/FM radio, multimedia player and more! It has an integrated 2GB memory that can store images, video and audio files.
Prices vary from $99 to $169.
