Digital photo frame alternatives

The introduction of the Apple iPad in early 2010 triggered a flurry of speculation about the future of many digital products. Among those: the digital picture frame. When it's not functioning as a computer, ebook reader, gaming device or any of its myriad capabilities, reviewers agree that the Apple iPad, sitting in a dock on a desk or table, makes a very good digital frame. With a high resolution of 1024 pixels by 768 pixels, compared to most other digital frames, which have 800 by 600 resolution, the iPad shines when it comes to image quality. In a blog post at ConsumerReports.org, Terry Sullivan of says that the iPad, in preliminary testing, is "overall very good to excellent -- better than just about any picture frame we've tested." The biggest problem Sullivan says he had with using the iPad as a digital frame was loading photos. Since the iPad does not have a USB port or card reader, photos can only be downloaded through an iTunes account or by email. Apple does sell an optional camera connection kit (*Est. $30) to download pictures directly from a digital camera.read more
