With this innovative addition to their photo frame lineup, customers can enjoy photos wirelessly in their home and display photos from sharing sites such as Windows Live Spaces or from personal collections on their PC. The frame works with the Windows Live Photo Gallery, which makes sharing photos with friends and family easy. Users can organize and upload individual photos or albums from their PC to Windows Live Spaces and the photos are ready for display on the frame. Along with the technology licensed from Microsoft Research, the Samsung frame communicates with Windows Media Player and open standards such as RSS."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/samsung_spf-83v.jpg" /><br /><br />I had a chance to test this device when I was in New York a few months ago, and it was quite impressive. <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/digitalmediathoughts-20/detail/B000YA1Z14/104-8147914-2239126">Amazon.com</a> [affiliate] has it for $229, which I think is just a bit too expensive for the size of the screen, but there's no denying that there's some awesome technology packed into this thing...
