FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA -- 07/09/08 --
D-Link today announced that it is now
shipping the new Wi-Fi digital photo frame that lets users quickly and
effortlessly display and share photos, as well as popular Internet content,
using a convenient website or with a drag and drop widget.
The D-Link® 10" Wireless Internet Photo Frame (DSM-210) combines the
benefits of a digital photo frame with the convenience of the Internet,
letting users easily manage digital photos stored on their computer or
photo sharing website such as Flickr®, Picasa® and Facebook®. The
D-Link frame also enables streaming of Internet content directly to the
frame such as news, weather, sports, trivia, and Really Simple Syndication
(RSS) feeds without the need to connect with a PC.
"Bringing this easy-to-use Wi-Fi and Internet-enabled photo frame to market
is an important extension of our digital home strategy where the home
network serves as a powerful platform to connect together a variety of
devices beyond just PCs," said Steven Joe, president and CEO, D-Link
Systems, Inc. "This 10" photo frame (DSM-210) is an ideal solution for
customers wanting to view not only the hundreds of photos stored on their
PCs but those they have uploaded for others to share over the Internet.
"It was also important that we provide our customers the added benefit of
accessing content that interests them from the frame such as the latest
news, weather and sports scores without the need to turn on the PC."
The D-Link Wireless Photo Frame also is a 'D-Link Green(TM)' product with
power saving motion detection so it can automatically turn on when someone
enters the room or off if the room is vacant.
D-Link has partnered with FrameChannel(TM) to provide easy access to a
library of interesting content to include in their photo frame. Users can
combine their personal photos with over 400 channels of dynamic content in
the FrameChannel library. Creating an account at www.internetphotoframe.com
allows anyone to personalize the wireless picture frame experience. The
ability to manage the frame using the Internet also allows a user to
remotely manage a frame over the Internet using the same Web portal, making
it the perfect gift for someone who is a novice computer user, letting the
giver of the frame remotely manage the photos and content displayed.
With a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, the D-Link Wireless Photo Frame also gives
users the choice to simply drag and drop digital photos into the frame via
a "widget" located on the computer desktop, which then automatically
displays the photos as a slide show on the photo frame.
"Because photos can be updated from the Internet, customers can give this
frame as a gift to grandparents and add the latest photos of the grandkids
from across the country," Joe added.
Wireless setup is made easy using the built-in WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup(TM)). In order to connect to the Internet, the user simply pushes the
WPS button on the frame and then on the compatible home router.
The D-Link DSM-210 Wireless Photo Frame can also accommodate most standard
flash memory formats such as USB thumb drive, SD, MMC, and Memory Stick.
Photos may also be accessed from a local UPnP® AV server such as a
Network Attached Storage (NAS) device like the D-Link DNS-323.
Additionally, pictures can be saved to the 1GB of internal memory.
The DSM-210 can be displayed the same as any standard photo frame. It can
be wall mounted to hang in the living room or proudly displayed next to
other photo frames via a rear easel stand.
D-Link also has custom skins available, via a partnership with Skinit(TM),
to allow customers to personalize the outer portion frame to whatever color
or pattern they choose.
