In looking for a digital picture frame, I needed one that could wirelessly connect to the Internet and pull down photos automatically. I also didn't want to spend more than $100 to accomplish this goal. Pan Digital's frames say they are wireless, but in reading reviews (and looking at their website) you get the feeling it doesn't work. I'm writing this review to say it does work, and well!
I opened the frame up about 5 minutes ago, and it is right now showing pictures from the internet via the Pan Digital Wifi adapter. It was very straight forward and easy to setup, the only thing that is annoying is the "keyboard" to enter the passwords is a cellphone style, which is very slow with the IR remote's arrow buttons (if the remote had numbers instead of arrows all would be great). The printed manual that came with the frame appears very detailed, but I didn't even look at it till just now.
For those that are wondering, you can set up accounts with FrameIt, Snapfish, and Picasa, plus for each service you can pull photos from two accounts. It can also get photos from a PC that is also connected to your home network.
I was not familiar with Microsoft's FrameIt site, started playing with it. It's actually an RSS feed made specifically for digital frames that can display a lot of information in addition to pictures. It can link into Picasa and Facebook and a bunch of other services, but there are some limitations like FrameIt->Picasa only shows Picasa's public photos, where-as when you connect directly to Picasa you can choose any album. Still, there is a LOT of power and customization in FrameIt.
From all appearances, this frame works well with the internet and will be exactly what I was looking for!Get more detail about Pandigital PAN7000DW 7-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Black).
