Parrot intros Specchio WiFi photo frame with NFC

Filed under: Household

We were hoping WiFi photo frames would be a bit more ubiquitous by now, but Parrot’s not waiting around on one lonely wireless standard — it’s introducing the Specchio frame with WiFi and Bluetooth NFC for getting photos to the screen. We’ve seen NFC in a few mass-transit trials here and there, but only Parrot seems to be really pushing the data aspects of the tech, so it’ll be interesting to see how it holds up — the idea is that you’ll take pictures on your phone and simply hold it against the frame to transfer them. Nifty — just like the frame display itself, which looks like a metallic mirror when switched off. Hm, this might be the first digital photo frame we’re actually interested in — too bad it’ll cost $500 when it goes on sale next month.

P.S.- Parrot, have some dignity with these press images, will you? The iPhone has an ass-useless Bluetooth stack and you know it.
