Wallflower Systems Announces the Next Generation of Internet Connected Digital Picture Frames (30/11/2004)

Large Screen, Enhanced Storage Capacity and Wired or Wireless Connectivity Display Digital Memories Anywhere in Your Home or Office

Wallflower Systems, Inc. today announced availability of the Wallflower 2 Networked Digital Picture Frame. Featuring a vibrant 12.1" or 14.1" LCD screen, huge on-board media storage, wired and wireless network support, and easy operation, the Wallflower 2 is simply the best way to enjoy and share digital photos, video clips, and personal music collections.

"The Wallflower 2 Networked Digital Picture Frame builds on our concept of combining digital technology with quality craftsmanship to take the sharing of digital memories to the next level," said Mitch Kahn, president of Wallflower Systems. "The Wallflower 2's superior features, image quality and internet connectivity put it head-and-shoulders above the competition."

Like previous Wallflower products, the Wallflower 2 is a finely crafted, wood and steel encased networked digital multimedia frame. Image, video and music files are transferred to the Wallflower 2 via a simple "drag-and-drop" operation in both the Windows XP and Mac OS X environments. A web-browser interface allows the user to change settings such as display order and display time as well as access more advanced features. Since the Wallflower 2 makes use of networking capabilities built-in to both Windows XP and OS X, no software installation is required on either platform. Files can also be loaded on to the Wallflower directly from digital cameras and USB memory card readers.

The Wallflower 2 includes the company's patent pending Pollinate(TM) technology, which provides the sharing of digital content via e-mail and the web. A Wallflower 2 can be configured to synchronize new content with other Wallflowers or simply to receive content through e-mail or web downloads. You can even display the latest news and sports scores in a scrolling news feed across the bottom of the screen. And unlike other internet connected digital picture frames, there are no service fees of any kind.

The Wallflower 2 stores more than 90,000 multi-megapixel digital images, 20 hours of video and thousands of songs on its internal 40GByte hard disk drive. LCD screen resolution is 1024x768 with 16 million colors and images and movies are automatically resized before playback. Audio output is available from the built-in speaker or from line-level outputs that can be connected to any stereo receiver. Virtually all image and movie formats are supported (check our website for details). MP3 and WAV audio formats are supported. A software upgrade provides playback of Microsoft(R) PowerPoint(R) and Macromedia(R) Flash files.

Currently priced between $649 and $999, depending on frame style and finish, Wallflower digital picture frames can be ordered online.
