CES 2008: Smartparts launch SP8PRT 8-inch digital photo frame with built-in printer
After the bizarrely huge 32-inch digital photo frame Smartparts announced at CES 2008, this SP8PRT could almost be overlooked being a mere 8-inch panel. However, hidden inside the frame is the display's secret weapon: a printer, that can produce copies of images stored on the device for people to take away with them.
Smartparts are claiming the SP8PRT is the first ever digital photo frame with a printer built-in, and I can't think of another to prove them wrong. While some might say the whole point of LCD-based picture displays is to avoid printing out snapshots, I can certainly think of occasions when people have forgotten to email me an image I've wanted, or when I've had pictures of my own I'd like to give to a computerless grandparent.
