Sony Japan have unveiled a new digital photo frame, the VGF-CP1. With a 7-inch LCD display capable of displaying 16m colors at 800 x 480 resolution, its slim bezel hides a pair of stereo speakers each putting out 1.6W. The CP1 has 512MB of internal memory, expandable via Memory Stick, CF or SD card, and WiFi to load more media wirelessly.
Sure, Sony was first to market with a place-shifting television technology, but SlingBox did it better. And still do.
Even with the release of this latest piece of hardware Sony can only best the latest SlingBox Pro in a few areas. But if you already have a LocationFree based network, or you plan on adding some of the nicer bits of hardware from Sony’s line to your home theater, this isn’t a bad choice.
