Toshiba and FrameChannel have partnered up to release a cool new digital frame that sets itself apart from the usual frames that display only photos.  Their Digital Media Frames are fun and interactive because they are capable of displaying more than just pictures.  These frames are connected to a FrameChannel account via Wi-Fi, which means it can hold personal media and information about the weather, news, and sports; as well as music and video.

These Digital Media Frames are particularly useful for families and friends that want to stay connected with new photos. Separate frames can be connected to one account; so each time the account is updated, the individuals’ frames connected to that account will be delighted to see what’s new. “Toshiba is dedicated to creating innovative and entertaining products to enhance the needs of today’s connected home,” said Jodi Sally, Vice President of Marketing, Digital A/V Group. That is why this Media frame also features channels that range from selections like People.com to Facebook.  The frames will be available in August. They come in black and white (8-inch and 10-inch), and start at $179.99.
