Sony Ericsson Launches Their First DPF

Sony Ericsson has launched their very first digital photo frame - the IDP-100.

Touting it as an ideal accessory to their Cyber-Shot mobile phones, Sony Ericsson maintains that photos can be transferred easily from regular cameras too via Bluetooth, USB flash memory, M2 card, micro SD, SD or MS Duo.

Photos can be displayed and managed on the 7" frame with the touch sensitive control menu in it. Users have to just view the slideshow options and pick their personal preference. In addition, the Digital Image Correction (DIC), included with the IDP-100 automatically adjusts the images – this includes color correction, tone enhancement and edge enhancement.

"Memories are priceless and irreplaceable", said Jacob Sten, Head of the accessories division at Sony Ericsson. "The IDP-100 Digital Photo Frame is the perfect companion to your Cyber-shot phone and lets you display your favourite moments easily and in high quality for all to see. However, it’s not just mobile phone users that can benefit from the IDP-100. We are proud that the frame receives, stores and displays up to 500 still images through a variety of options. Once uploaded they are automatically rotated, enhanced and re-sized to fit the frame - so that you can enjoy your memories instantly."

The IDP-100 features auto-rotation, inbuilt Bluetooth, can store up to 500 images on the internal memory and has a World clock with three time zones. It is compatible with all phones featuring M2 card, micro SD, SD and MS Duo, USB interface or Bluetooth.

Sony Ericsson's IDP-100 will be available in selected markets in Q4 in dark grey.
