I recently blogged a bit about digital photo frames that allow you to view motion video as well as still images, a trait that is increasingly common. The evolution of these frames however certainly doesn't stop with the addition video playback however. Wireless digital photo frames are an example. Using Wi-Fi and sometimes Bluetooth, they make transferring photos quick and easy, but more importantly perhaps, they take sharing to another level.

Kodak recently introduced the Pulse, a 7" digital photo frame that has it's own e-mail address which allows family and friends to send photos to it. In fact, it can be set up to automatically receive photos that they post to online galleries such as Facebook or the Kodak gallery. Fast, immediate, and no downloading required.

Of course, the Pulse is not by itself. Another frame that provides similar capabilities is Pix-Star's FotoConnect. It's another wireless digital photo frame but it not only allows you to receive images directly onto the frame from friends, family, and internet galleries, but you can also send your photos to other Pix-Star frames. This frame also begins to feel like an internet player as you can display weather forecasts, play web radio, and stream music on it as well.
