The Digi-Frame DF-1710 is a self-contained digital
picture frame that doesn’t look electronic—it accepts any
20x16-inch decorative frame and matting and looks completely traditional.
It’s less than
three inches deep and can be hung with picture wire. It has an internal
12GB hard drive that can hold over 10,000 hi-rez 1024 x 768 jpeg images.
It has a built-in computer that controls the presentations and it can
be loaded and controlled via CD-ROM, ethernet LAN, wireless LAN, the
internet, and memory cards. It has an on-screen menu system controlled
by a handheld remote control and can play MP3 background soundtracks
as well as MPEG video. Its ability to display thousands of pictures in
one space on a 17-inch screen and change images in moments while retaining
a traditional look is a breakthrough in image presentation. Information:

Faces On Time, has developed a really great new way for animal lovers
to show off a favorite photo of their pet by displaying it in a stylish,
high-quality wristwatch. Unlike ordinary “picture” watches,
the company utilizes a unique image suspension process by which a high-resolution,
distortion-free reproduction of the pet’s photo is set between
the watch dial and the crystal. This allows the image to be clearly displayed,
unobstructed by the watch’s hands and center pin, yet shows the
time at a glance. The animal’s name or other brief inscription
can also be added at no extra charge. Photos can be beautifully reproduced
from either conventional or digital originals. The watches themselves
are high-quality timepieces manufactured to Faces On Time’s specifications
by Endura, a member of the renowned Swatch Group of Switzerland. For
information and ordering of watches call (866)-777-FACE or go to www.facesontime.com
