Digital photo frames aren't just for displaying photos. Pandigital's 8.0-inch Digital Photo Frame can do music, photos, and videos—all with the convenience of a wireless remote control. Its ability to showcase excellent photo quality at 640 by 480 pixels and store 64MB of onboard data make the $199.99 price tag well worth it.

With an 8-inch LCD screen, the device can display JPEG and motion JPEG AVI, as well as MPEG 1 and MPEG 4. It supports Secure Digital, Multi Media, Compact Flash, Memory Stick/Duo/Pro/Pro Duo, and xD memory cards. In addition, the frame has both standard and mini USB ports for hooking up USB flash drives and a USB cable to connect to your computer. However, there's no wireless connectivity. Displaying JPEGs from the supported memory cards, as well as my Lexar JumpDrive Lightning USB flash drive, went smoothly.

Measuring 10.2 by 8.6 by 1.7-inches (HWD) and weighing 4.5 pounds, it's not the most compact digital photo frame I've seen, but it does comes with a remote control, two interchangeable frames (acrylic and black), and an AC adapter. Manual controls are located on the top of the frame for navigating through photos, adjusting brightness, and accessing photo, video, or music files. To enter Setup mode, just hold down the Exit button. The interface is clean and simple. Use the remote to enter and exit setup, navigate photos, select slide show mode, and control volume. Conveniently, the remote fits inside the frame's CF slot for easy storage.

Using the included USB cable, I connected the frame to my computer. To copy or delete photos from the device's memory or an inserted memory card, go to My Computer and select one of the five Removable Disk drive letters. The first four drives give you access to memory card files when inserted into the frame; the last drive is the frame's onboard memory. (Note: Some computers may not recognize all five drive letters at once, so be patient until they load). This approach lets you easily manage your files from a computer rather than using the frame.
