new Designer Collection of digital photo frames with the first designer
digital frame in the series having been designed by leading French
designer Andrรฉe Putman.
Sporting what Parrot refer to as 'a pure and sober design that
skilfully contrasts the black and white tones with a subtle play of
transparency', the Andrรฉe Putman minimalist digital photo frame not
only sports decidedly good looks but comes with Bluetooth connectivity -
as well as integrated SD card slot - facilitating the wireless transfer
of imagery to the frame's internal memory (though the frame's storage
capacity is undisclosed at the time of writing with the press release
merely stating that the frame can store 'over 400 photos') and a 15cm
262K colour LCD screen.
'I would like to pay tribute to Parrot for daring to think that this
wonder of technology could be coiled up inside a beautiful wrapping,'
explains Andrรฉe Putman. 'Storage fans will be the most vulnerable to
the charms of this object, which will overcome any problems of arranging
photo souvenirs.'
Unfortunately Parrot, in their wisdom, have offered little in the way of
specifications concerning this 'wonder of technology' apart from that
detailed above which could lead some to conclude that this may well be a
classic case of style over substance (not that we would suggest that
this admittedly beautiful frame may well be, aside from its designer
styling, an otherwise wholly mundane device). That said, Parrot have at
least confirmed that this designer digital photo frame will not only
automatically rotate and resize your photos to 'stylishly fit the
screen' it will also 'change the selection to suit your mood' - though
Parrot are again less than forthcoming with respect as to exactly how
this digital frame knows what mood you're in (nanotech-implant, perhaps
- or could it be a simple case of user selection?).
Thankfully Parrot have seen fir to let us know that their exclusive
Andrรฉe Putman Designer Digital Photo Frame will become available at
concept stores' across Europe and Asia and will retail for
around pound sterling 250 / e 299
