Pandigital Photo Mail Digital Photo Frame Now Shipping

Tweet

Pandigital has recently announced that their 3G capable Photo Mail digital photo frame has begun shipping. Yup, a 3G connected digital photo frame. This particular model was originally unveiled back in January during CES and aside from having a slightly silly sounding name, this may be a nice frame to consider.

To begin with, lets touch on that 3G part. The Photo Mail frame comes with built-in access to the AT&T 3G network which will allow you to upload images from just about anywhere you may be by way of a dedicated email address that comes with the frame.

As for paying for that access, that comes in the form of image packs, which will set you back $9.99 for 100, $29.99 for 400 or $49.99 for 700. That said, you do get 300 images for free just with the purchase of the frame. On the other hand, the frame itself is selling for $179.99.

Personally, it would have been nice had this been something along the lines that we saw with the free access that comes with ebook readers such as the Kindle and Nook, but all things considered, the pricing for uploads is not all that crazy. If nothing else this could make a nice gift for that less than tech friendly person in your family. It would allow them to have a digital photo frame that you could keep stocked with fresh images from afar.

Moving on though, other features of the Pandigital Photo Mail frame include an 8 inch 800 x 600 resolution display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, 6 in 1 memory card reader and 1GB of internal storage that when used with Pandigital’s memory optimization mode can store up to 6,400 images. Additionally, there is also an option to add Wi-Fi by way of an external wireless adapter.

Finally, the frame itself is real wood with photo matting and a glass screen cover.
