Parrot announces digital photo display with built-in Sim card

ParrotDigital photo frames are all over the place at the moment. Every man and his dog seem to be producing them, and Parrot has just announced its latest model.

The DF7700 stands out from the crowd in that it features a built-in Sim card. This means you can fire MMS digital photos from your phone direct to the display. Of course, unless you've got a decent mobile plan each MMS costs you a fair amount, but thanks to the relatively small 7in screen most mobile shots should look OK.

Pricing it to be confirmed, but if its anything like most other frames it'll be expensive. The other problem with digital photo frames is that if you want them on for extended period you'll need to hook them up to the mains - which means a power cable dangling ungainly from the display.

That said, one photo frame that caught my eye last year was the I-Mate Momento. Thanks to its built-in Wifi, it would grab photos from your PC wirelessly and would also let you update them over the internet.
