Remember the Sony S-Frame DPP-F700 combination digital photo frame and printer? Announced late last month over in Singapore, the 7-inch WVGA display has just seen its official US launch, and it’s expected to arrive in stores in January for around $200. As well as displaying images on-screen – loaded either via USB or on a memory card, but frustratingly not wirelessly – the DPP-F700 can spit out 4 x 6-inch glossy prints for your mother-in-law to take away.
