Introduction

A brief introduction to the Pacific Digital Memory Frame

Pacific Digital recently introduced the "Memory Frame", claiming it as the worlds first USB digital photo frame. The Memory Frame is designed to make sharing and viewing photos much easier, and it is an exceptionally good idea with the rapid uptake of digital cameras, if the unit performs as well as it should. A 5.6 inch active TFT screen takes up most of the photo frame area with a 320x240 pixel display.

Memory Frame Unit

This digital photo frame will act as a standalone unit which you can plug your digital camera in to, and it will automatically download and display your photos. The device can, of course, be plugged into your PC and pictures/firmware updates can be sent that way. The Memory Frame can store a maximum of 55 photos in its memory, which should be about enough for any user.
