Wireless photo frame with a twist

摘要

The scoop: Kaleido R7 wireless digital photo frame, by IPEVO, about $200.rnWhat it is: Like many other digital photo frames, the Kaleido R7 will display digital photos on its very nice 7-inch LCD screen.The devicernsupports connec-tions from memory cards (SD, MMC and Memory Stick) andrnUSB flash drives, or a direct connection to a PC via USB cable (not provided).What makes the R7 slightly different is a Wi-Fi connection that lets you synchronize photos wirelessly from another computer on the same wireless network.The device comes with IPEVO's Eye-Stage software, which allows for the synchronization of photos from the PC to the R7.The EyeStage also lets you add RSS feeds (both photo-based and info-based, like blogs) to the device, letting you view photos from online photo services, such as Flickr and Google's Picasa.rnWhy it's cool: I was most impressed with the R7 hardware, which includes a sleek black and white finish, and a beautiful LCD screen. The device can display images in landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical)rnmode by rotating the display 90 degrees, and the software is smart enough to adjust the photo once you've switched from one mode to the other.
