Ah, family ties and those moments of closeness we all feel towards loved ones from time to time. Recently, I have come across a new device which aims to capitalize on this feeling with a unique mobile twist. This leisure appliance is a digital LCD photo frame which displays photos along with audio and video output capabilities. Appearance wise, it sounds as though it will be much like we have already seen in terms of digital photo frames—postcard size--however the twist comes in with this device being equipped with its own email address. Essentially what this means is that you can send mom, dad, grandma, grandpa or whoever photos or videos whenever you like. This nifty gadget will automatically receive the content and display them for your loved ones. Sounds like a clever idea eh?!
Apparently this e-photo frame was developed in house by DoCoMo and has the memory to hold up to 1000 photos while also having the ability to run your standard slideshow. According to DoCoMo it will retail for around 20,000 yen and offers to fill that ‘guilt gap’ for those who may be too busy, yet still feel the need to create that feeling of connection. It is still unclear whether it will accept non DoCoMo messages, however time will tell and I am sure that if it doesn’t, it will be doing so very soon providing consumers bite at this.
The wireless revolution continues my friends. A day doesn’t seem to pass in which some intuitive device come out which capitalizes on this world of mobile and wireless transmissions here in Japan! Thanks to Wireless Watch Japan for this informative piece.
