Toshiba and FrameChannel Intro Wi-Fi Photo Frames Display Your Pics and Get The Weather, news, and Sports

Toshiba announced on Monday that it has teamed up with FrameChannel, a
web-based digital photo frame integration service, to bring weather,
news and sports info, as well as uploaded photos to its new line of
Digital Media Frames. Plans are to offer both an 8-in and 10-in model.
Users will upload their videos and pics to the FrameChannel servers and
then view them on their wireless frame.

Using FrameChannel, users can also link to photos uploaded to other
hosting sites such as Photobucket, Flickr, and Facebook. FrameChannel
also produces more than 1,000 free channels across 19 different
categories, some of which can be shown on the frames' home screens to
give constant and real-time updates to content.

The frames have an integrated position senor that automatically adjusts
the screen to either landscape or portrait depending upon the layout of
the pictures. Navigating home screens is done using touch-sensitive
controls that illuminate when operated. The user also has the ability to
select which featured content is displayed on the home screen and has
access to both a calendar and a clock.

The 8-inch Toshiba DMF82X will be available in black and white with a
MSRP of $180. The 10-inch Toshiba DMF102X will be available in black
only for $230. Toshiba plans to begin shipping both models in August.
