Panasonic announced a new digital photo frame that also doubles as an iPod dock and audio system. It could also be an audio system that doubles as a photo frame and has iPod docking capabilities. Or is it an iPod dock that can offer you audio system features and conveniently display your favorite pictures?

The official press release says that the MW-10 is Panasonic’s “first audio system with iPod dock and photo frame.” But then again you can call it whatever you want. As you can see, the MW-10 is a versatile device that comes with a lot of features. Whether you want it to simply display pictures or handle your multimedia needs, the MW-10 will comply. On top of that it can connect to your iPods at any time acting as the designated dock when no other dock is available.

The MW-10 takes multimedia seriously. It offers a built-in CD player, FM/AM radio tuner with 45-station preset memory while the low-density bamboo speaker will deliver “pure sound and crisp dialogue.” Music and videos can also be played straight from the iPod and the remote control will come in handy.

The MW-10 comes with a 9-inch WVGA LCD which can be used to either display pictures or watch some quick homemade videos. The MW-10 can deal with pictures from CD, SD memory card or from its 4GB internal memory. The photo frame can display either a full-screen photo slideshow or a combination of: clock and iPod track menu, calendar and photos, clock and photos, and audio and calendar.

As I said before, the MW-10 is a gadget that can deal with a lot of our needs and it can definitely stand out among digital photo frames with extra features. Panasonic will make the MW-10 available only next month, but just in time for Christmas. The device will retail for $299.95 which is a little too expensive but then again this isn’t an ordinary frame.
