nirvana whilst spanking your

This
Digital Photo Frame
is truly an original
breakthrough. Now you can
display dynamic slide shows,
images, and even sound on your
desk-top, mantelpiece, bedside
table, the wall, wherever. These
dynamic frames have high quality
matrix TFT LCD displays,
providing vibrant
high-resolution images, and they
make it a piece of cake to
display images. No longer are
your digital photos either stuck
in your computer or camera, now
you can up to 80 images all on
view! It has 11 transition
effects to chose from, so your
images can slide seamlessly from
one picture to the next, with an
adjustable transition time from
15 seconds to several hours (for
your real favourites). The frame
has the nifty added bonus of you
being able to add sound to an
image, so you if have a holiday
beach shot you can add the sound
of breaking waves to play when
that picture is shown (which is
kind of neat).
It's
wonderfully simple to use, all
you need to do is plug your
camera (or computer) into the
frame via a USB connection (lead
supplied) and then you can
download single images, or the
whole lot. You can even load
images onto the frame from
key-drives and card readers. You
can then, via a simple menu,
edit the transition time and
effect between every image. It's
easy to add or delete images,
and the frame automatically
sizes your pictures to fit. It
will stand either as a landscape
or portrait frame.
