Parrot unveil MMS-enabled photo frame

In an interesting move, mobile accessories firm Parrot have just unveiled what they’re claiming is the world’s first MMS-enabled digital photo frame.

Digital photo frames are nothing new – there’s quite a few on the market. The concept is simple: chuck one on your mantlepiece or coffee table, pop in a memory card and load some photos up. Where the DF7700 goes further is it’s got a GSM modem built in, and can receive MMS on it’s own dedicated number. Send a picture from your mobile to the frame and it’ll display it at the press of a button.

Like most other digital photo frames, it’s also got a USB port and an SD card slot – and holds over 500 snaps in its internal memory. The device has a 7-inch digital TFT LCD screen, a light sensor, position sensor so it knows whether to display your photos in portrait or landscape mode – plus you can even change the frame to suit the decoration of the room.

There’s no details yet of price or availability, but it should hopefully be out in time for Christmas.

  1. oh very nice indeed, I love it. So I buy one for my folks and then never have to send them a postcard again. Just MMS a photo from my travels and within minutes, as they are sat there in their living room watching coronation street, a new live photo appears on their sideboard. Fabulous.

    But oh boy this could go so spectacularly wrong. Wrong photo to the wrong number…you know where I’m going with this don’t you 😉
