Just a couple of weeks ago we purchased our first digital picture frame and, honestly, I now don’t know how we ever got along without one. If you use a digital camera you really do need a digital picture frame in order to get the most enjoyment out of your pictures. If you’re just storing all your digital pictures on your computer how often do you really get to view them? Probably next to never. Load those forgotten photos onto this frame and enjoy a walk down memory lane. Then, if you feel like going outside and taking some more photos you can check the weather station mode of this handy gadget first. How great is that?

“Combining two useful devices in one compact unit, this digital photo frame displays your favorite photos in vibrant color and, at the press of a button, delivers comprehensive reports of meteorological conditions around your home. Its wireless remote outdoor sensor transmits weather data to the display from up to 100 feet away and shows indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, phase of the moon, times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, and more. The units 7″ diag. Thin Film Transistor LCD (the same used in flat panel televisions) displays one image or a slide show (with up to 60-second duration per image) at 480 x 234 resolution with a 300:1 contrast ratio for sharp, brilliant color reproduction.”
