I almost linked to this glowing review of the eStarling Digital Photo frame yesterday, but it slipped my mind.  Now I’m glad it did, since Gizmodo have taken a look at the display in the meantime and roundly trashed it.  In no particular order, the eStarling looks ugly, has an oddly-shaped and low-res display, is over-logo’d, relies on a protruding (and unreliable) wireless dongle, oh, and it’s starting to smell funny.

This is a shame, because you might remember that I was quite impressed by the frame’s specs back when Think Geek started selling it in November, and was looking forward to getting one in to review.

    I bought an wStarling for a xmas present. It would not connect to either of my linksys routers at first. It took many attempts to get it to connect.
    Once connected it did download a few pictures. However the picture quailty is crap.
    After running it for about 6 hours it began to lock up periodically. After a day it won’t saty on for more than a few minutes before it shuts down. It is a piece of crap and you should steer as far clear of rhe eStarling as possible.

    the frame you are referring to is the 7″ LE model which comes with an external antenna. They also have a 7″ model with internal antenna and an 8″ model that has a higher resolution (800×600). All come in black or white frames.
