Review: eStarling digital photo frame is WOW
June 15th, 2008 by Amazing Tech Woman, Denise
What happens when you get a digital photo frame, load your favorite pictures in it and hit Slideshow Mode?
We ALL know what happens. Pictures slide by one after the other, another after another. In a few days, you would have relived all your most memorable moments so many times, they would cease to feel so special. It’s a wee-bit boring to see just yourself and your best friends frolicking in the snow, then in the sun, then in the sand, and all over again, isn’t it?
The first time someone mentioned the eStarling digital photo frame, I didn’t think it would become a fixture on my desk as it is today. When I heard the eStarling can connect to any wi-fi network, I wondered whether it was another beta with underutilized potential. But since I got my hands on this digital photo frame a few days back, I have realized that this is a perfect gift for any occasion – whether it is Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, li’l sister’s birthday, or grandparents’ anniversary.
The wi-fi is what makes the eStarling digital frame rock. Once you have set up the eStarling at home, connected it to your wi-fi, you can subscribe to any number of RSS photo feeds from Flickr, Picasa,
Photobucket, AOL, Smugmug, iPhoto, Gallery or Facebook. It’ll be a nice change from just watching your own photos! Plus, every time your friends upload pictures to their social networking accounts, you can watch them almost immediately on the eStarling digital frame. Of course there is also the option of adding photographs with a USB drive or with a memory card.
The next best thing about the eStarling is its emailing feature. Each frame has its own email address, and pictures can be emailed directly to the frame. That is such a wonderful thing for all the Moms and Dad far away from their kids and yearning to see them! One can also send short messages via email or from the cell phone.
All I have to do is email a picture from my regular email account to the photo frame’s unique email address. Bingo! Dad sees the picture almost immediately on the eStarling photo frame perched on his writing desk. Brilliant, isn’t it?
In fact, you can even email pictures from the frame by hitting a simple button. If a lot of your friends have the eStarling, you can group the frames and send pictures to all of them using a single email address.
The only frustrating bit was setting up the eStarling for the first time. It took me a little reading and exercising of the gray cells to hook it up successfully to my home wi-fi network. Once it was set up though, the rest was simple. I registered the frame on the eStarling’s sister website, and subscribed to several different photo feeds. The best and the latest photos in the world now keep popping up on the photo frame – there’s no way I can get bored because the RSS feeds keep showing me new pictures.
And to top it all, the eStarling is sexy – its 8 inch sleek black LCD screen and rounded edges are perfect for a modern home. The picture quality is bright and brilliant, and can be turned off at night for power-saving. I am definitely going to gift one to Dad this Father’s Day!

Digital cameras put power in the photographers’ hands for full artistic control over their pictures with interchangeable lenses. Of course, there are automatic choices for those customers who are not as camera savvy.

Both gives you barbeque flavor however, many swear that charcoal grilling is superior when considering the taste test.

It is my belief that mesothelioma is most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual traits. The more I actually look at it a lot more I am sure it does not behave like a real solid flesh cancer. If mesothelioma is often a rogue virus-like infection, then there is the probability of developing a vaccine plus offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are vulnerable to high risk with developing long run asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for giving your ideas about this important ailment.
