After reviewing one of the first Photo Frame with Wi-Fi feature, we were convinced that wireless Internet access was the key feature for digital picture frames to break through to mass markets. Once wireless Internet access has been set up, a Wi-Fi frame can automatically receive new photos and videos from shared photo albums from the Internet. Family members and friends can update their photos even on the other side of the world and they will automatically pop up on the frame's display. A working Wi-Fi access point and broadband connection must exist at the person's home who wants view photos from the Internet. One of the major electronics brands, Toshiba, also seems to believe that photo frames with Wi-Fi Internet connectivity are the future.
Toshiba has introduced two digital picure frames, a 8-inch and a 10-inch model, both with Wi-Fi feature. The product names are hopeless, but here they are for identifying the products among other eletronics: the 10-inch picture frame is known as DMF102XKU, the 8-inch frame is DMF82XWU for white, and DMF82XKU for black model. All frames have similar features; Wi-Fi access for downloading pictures, music (MP3 and WMA), news, and other information from Internet services, such as Flickr, Facebook, and Picasa. Other services available are, for instance, sports, weather, and stock quotes. Toshiba's frames can connect to FrameChannel service that provides custom information for the frame.
