Owners of digital frames know that one of the key features is ease in transferring pictures from your camera or computer to your digital picture frame. Most digital photo frames require the use of a memory device such as a Secure Digital card to do this, however digital frames such as the Kodak EASYSHARE W820 and W1020 greatly simplify this step using wireless technology.
Portable USA has also kept up with key features that other leaders in digital frames like Kodak and Smartparts have offered as well. Many of the Portable USA frames come with remote controls, support direct connection to your PC via USB cable, and these frames all display in 4:3 aspect ratio so you don�t have to worry about black stripes on the edges of your pictures. Viewing angles are great, which helps in larger rooms, and you either display your frame on a tabletop with a stand or easily hang it in either portrait or landscape. Some even come with calendar and alarm functions.Portable doesn�t stop with its PU-10W 10-inch frame, it�s only the beginning. The The Portable USA PU12-WB 12.1� digital frame takes it another step with an even larger crystal clear digital display frame. Not only is this frame bigger but has twice as much memory � 256 MB, which generally means it can store about 1000 digital pictures � and has another popular feature with recent digital frames: wireless. While you can always transfer photos from your camera or computer to your Portable USA frame using memory cards, the Bluetooth wireless feature makes it even simpler. With a wireless digital frame like the PU12-WB wireless digital frame, as now you can keep fresh content on your frame in real time from your PC or cell phone. Constantly streaming pictures via Bluetooth on a large 12.1� wireless digital LCD frame makes for a great device and a real winner from Portable USA.Digital frame popularity is growing fast as consumers realize their benefits over traditional frames and as manufacturers add features and lower prices. Digital picture frames enable consumers to get the significant amount of digital pictures they have buried computers hard drives and out on display in our homes and offices. Just as improved LCD technology has made digital TVs clearer and more popular, consumers now can display slide shows of pictures in their digital LCD frames with the same quality as prints, and get the benefits of dynamically changing pictures. Many even support other medial such as music and video.Two leading wireless digital photo frames are the Kodak EASYSHARE W820, and the larger Kodak EASYSHARE W1020 digital frame. The 8-inch W820 and 10-inch W1020 come with many great features, but their wireless capabilities differentiate them from other Kodak digital frames. Best application of these frames is with a Flickr account, a popular online photo sharing website, which enables you to configure the frame to automatically transfer photos from your Flickr account to your W820 or W1020 wirelessly using a feature called �Photostream�. This means as you add pictures to various albums in your Flickr account, you easily pick and chose those you want to show up on your Kodak wireless digital frame, and let Photostream take over. Since Flickr is a great application for downloading and storing new pictures as you add them to your collection, this makes it easy to keep fresh pictures on your Kodak digital photo frame.If size is what you are really after in your digital photo frame, then consider Portable�s largest digital frame, the 15� PU-15WB digital photo frame. This one is more elegant than the others, a cherry wood frame with a more traditional style, and all the features mentioned with the previous models, just bigger! The resolution of the screen is 1024 x 768, higher than smaller frames so the quality of the picture is outstanding even in the larger size. You can take advantage of the various slide show features that come with the frame, and keep in mind these frames from Portable all display video and audio media as well (internal speakers), so custom slideshows work great.Wireless digital frames bring promise for even more applications for these devices as the ability to transfer information to them freely creates even more possibilities. The Kodak W820 and W1020 models for example both offer a wireless enabled service called FRAMECHANNEL, which can stream information such as news and weather to the frame using something similar to RSS feeds. This means your digital photo album is not long just for photos, but instead an information portal, also great for businesses and service industries who want to put digital displays in places such as lobbies or use as advertising portals.Kodak is not the only manufacture of wireless digital picture frames, Samsung, Ceiva, and others have all made similar models with similar features. But the Kodak EASYSHARE W820 and W1020 deserve strong consideration.
Regardless of what brand you choose, if you are getting ready to buy a digital frame, you�d be wise to consider a wireless digital picture frame.
