In the world of electronics, "size is everything."

TV's appear to be getting bigger and thinner, computers are getting smaller yet faster, MP3 players and cameras can fit into the palm of your hands, and the next big thing is Digital photo frames.

I got bought this as a birthday present a few months ago and it's taken pride in our home on the side table.

I like photo's, with the likes of Facebook and other networking sites, photo's are becomming more and more popular and you find yourself taking them at any opportunity, but realisticly, when would you go to the developers, get one printed, and frame it? 1 in 100? 1 in 500?

This allows you to show off your photo's, with no further expense! You get the exact same outcome as if you had printde it off, (being framed), but you can store thousands of photos and every few seconds/minutes look at a new one! You won't need to replace a picture anymore as it can all be stored on your memory cards.

It's great also, if you have certain friends coming over, load up their album, so it makes the place feel more welcoming!

If you want to impress new people, put up photo's of your impressive things, achivements, day's out, trophies ;)

The design is utterly awsome, the jet black looks immense on a white window sill, the card plugs straight in (same one from your digital camera) and away you go.

Loads of options to chose from, transition times/effects, folders, backlight brightness etc. There is also a neat little remote if you want to skip, rewind or pause a photo.

The only downside to this, is the wire/plug. If you can situate the frame somewhere where a cable can be hidden, go for it!
