Transcend PF810 Multimedia Digital Photo Frame [8" Digiframe]

Transcend’s PF810 8″ digital photo frame, which is set for release in Japan at the end of March, like so many digiframes these days, fully embraces the notion of convergence in offering true multimedia capabilities as well as an integrated FM radio and alarm clock functionality.

Offering an 8″ 4:3 aspect ratio 800 x 600 resolution TFT LCD display with touch sensitive UI housed within a frame sporting ‘a lustrous gloss-black finish with elegant inlaid rhinestones’ (glossy – cool, inlaid rhinestones – not so sure), the Transcend PF810 comes with a not too shabby 2GB of onboard memory which can, of course, be supplemented at will thanks to the PF810’s card reader, and, in terms of file format compatibility, it’ll happily play ball with MP3, WAV, and WMA audio files and Motion JPEG, MPEG1, MPEG4, AVI, MPG, MP4 and 3GP video formats as well as offering support for both JPEG and BMP image formats (as one would expect from a digiframe – though wider image format support would have been nice).

Coming with what Transcend refer to as ‘NaturaTone intelligent skin color processing and user-selectable color modes’ which ‘analyze the makeup of each image and enhances colors for a more natural, lifelike appearance’ (if it could make me look human I’d be impressed), the PF810 will sell in Japan for the equivalent of around a not unreasonable $203.
