Digital frames

Digital photo frames flew off store shelves for Mother’s Day gifts, and the same is expected for graduation and Father’s Day.

The idea of having dozens of photos rotating in a slideshow in a frame for family and friends to see appeals to our egos.

Prices have dropped significantly in the last six months. Frames with 7-inch diagonal displays can be had for less than $200, and less than $100 at some stores such Digitalframez.com.

Lower prices have driven this product to big sales. That has made the digital photo frame more appealing as an impulse purchase for many consumers. Also, newer generations of the frames are being built on the same kinds of platforms for portable media players, such as the iPod or Zune.

That means some digital frames can now play music and video, in some cases, as well as show multiple pictures on the screen at the same time.
