HP have a duo of new digital photo frames today, one intended for portable use and the other better suited to the mantelpiece.  The 3.5-inch df300 stores up to 45 images on its internal memory, and has a 320 x 240 resolution display with a 400:1 contrast ratio.  The 10.4-inch df1000a, meanwhile, has 512MB of onboard storage and an 800 x 600 resolution display.

Capacity on the smaller display can be boosted via an SD/SDHC/MMC slot, and it can run either off AC or USB power, or via its internal rechargeable battery.  A full charge will last for two hours, enough to bore any friend or relative with your latest holiday snaps.

The df1000a, meanwhile, has a USB port and 5-in-1 card reader, and can either display a single image or a composite of four images (or, alternatively, a mixture of images, calendars and clocks).  It comes with a choice of framing inserts and can be hooked up to an HP photo printer to produce hard-copies of images without needing to turn on your PC.  Dual stereo speakers, video playback and a remote control round out the package.

Price for the 3.5-inch df300 is around $59; price for the 10.4-inch df1000a is $219.
