Sony S-Frame DPP-F700 Digital Photo Frame/Printer: $200 in January [Digital Photo Frames]

The sleek-looking S-Frame DPP-F700 is finally headed to the U.S. It's got a 7-inch (800 x 480) display that doubles as a digital photo frame and image editor for printing 4 x 6-inch photos in 45 seconds.
Print quality is 300 x 300dpi, and basic edits include zoom, crop, brightness, contrast, hue, and sharpness adjustment. To print whatever is on the screen at the time, you (or grandma) can just hit the Screen Capture button.
As you can see in the pics, the F700 can sit vertically or horizontally, and it will automatically rotate photos as you do.
1GB of storage comes built-in, and you can print from your PC, USB sticks, and a variety of media cards, including SD and xD. No RAW format support, but the F700 will print JPEG, TIFF and BMP image files.

Timed with the Archos A5 announcement, it’s the first place to check if you are looking for apps optimized for screens at 800×480 resolution. Today sees another market opportunity for developers.

No word yet on when the Insyde Market plans to open the doors, but we’re guessing it could be months. After all, we need netbooks that handle Android first. It will be interesting to see how things play out when Chrome starts shipping. Will Android netbooks be a non-starter?
Thanks to Paul for the tip and good luck with your app, StatusToggle!

Fancy cellphone runs Windows XP, now up for pre-order

Cellphones are evolving into pint-size PCs, and this xpPhone from Chinese company ITG is the latest extreme example. This Windows XP-running slider started out as a murky demo at a trade show, and now the company is offering it for preorder at an as-yet-undisclosed price.
Its 4.8-inch 800x480 touch screen is almost big enough to be a digital picture frame, and it has two drives — an 8GB solid-state drive and a 30GB spinning hard disk. The company tried to put everything into this AMD Super Mobile CPU-running phone, including Wi-Fi, connectivity to any US cell network, Bluetooth, VGA output and the ability to use it as an external hard disk.

Too bad it's heavy as an anvil, weighing 2 ounces shy of a pound. That's hefty enough to pull your pants down if you want to pocket the thing. Its stated battery life could be an exaggeration, boasting talk time of five hours. Wonder how long that 'Internet experience' will last with its lithium-ion battery.
Slim this down to about half its thickness and weight, and install Windows 7, and you could be looking at the phone/computer of the future.
