As convenient as digital cameras are, there are times when, quite simply, it’s not convenient enough. Camera phones are often the quicker, more convenient way of recording that memorable, instantaneous moment. But then the trouble rolls in. How to get the photo off of the phone? Unless you e-mail it to yourself through the phone, spending money to use the internet via your wireless provider, chances are that the photo is going to stay in your phone forever. Except if you use the Parrot Photo Viewer.
Any Bluetooth enabled phone has the option to use the Parrot Photo viewer. Select the program from the listing of Bluetooth options on your phone (or your computer, for that matter), and send it to the leather or oak photo frame. The photo automatically resizes to the size of the screen, and formats itself as vertical or horizontal, accordingly. Another automatic feature is the automatic adjusting of the LCD screen. The internal memory is 32MB, which means it can hold over 100 images. Users can choose whether they want to have a fixed display of one photo, or run a slide show of all the photos in the frame. The frame itself measures 3” x 5” and the pictures appear 2.75” x 2”.
The Parrot Photo Viewer prices start at $149. www.parrot.biz
