Sony's wireless VAIO photo frame

Juniper Foo | Sep 05, 2008

Sony's clearly dipped its brush into its VAIO design palette for this CP1 Wi-Fi photo frame. It looks, feels and smells like a VAIO, which should go matchingly well with the rest of your VAIO collection in the house. And like all VAIOs, there's a certain expectation that you'll get what you pay for.

Besides the patently handsome aesthetics, there're wireless connectivity for streaming Internet radio and news (there's an RSS reeder), onboard stereo speakers and a mini remote to exploit the wireless option. The 7-inch LCD display itself runs into 16 million colors in 800 x 480 resolution. There's also a digital/analog clock and the ability to save energy by dimming the screen automatically when a room's lights are turned off.

To beef up the measly 128MB internal storage, there's a memory slot which will even support--thankfully, in a rare non-Sony move--SD/MMC and CompactFlash, besides the Memory Stick media. Although with wireless, you can always piggyback off online albums.

Love it, want it? Well, like all things Sony, there's a pretty premium attached to it. Like, say, US$300? In any case, you have till mid-October to start saving for this.
