Digital picture frames are so ubiquitous these days that there is little for us to report on in the segment. But every once and a while there is a product that clearly differentiates itself from the pack even in a crowded segment like this. Album's US$199 portable picture frame clearly stands above any of the display devices we've seen so far.

A picture says a thousand words, so check out the gallery of shots that we took at PMA 2009. This portable frame device features a very impressive 7’’ 800x480 pixels LCD display, 4GB of internal memory, SD card slot and USB interface to import pictures from most digital cameras. Construction is stylish and high quality and its 7.7” x 4.45” x 0.55” footprint and 0.9 pound weight lives up to the portable tag.

Below is the company's press release from PMA:

ALBUMteam | ALBUM - FIRM’S PILOT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION | 01 | 05 | 2009

ALBUM – YOUR DIGITAL PHOTOS ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

You are familiar with these situations: When travelling, you need to take a quick look through a few photos to refresh your memory, but switching on your laptop would take too long so you decide against it; or you are away from home with no access to the photos saved on your home desktop and you know about that perfect image that would support your argument. You can easily avoid these sorts of frustrations with ALBUM, because with ALBUM you don’t need a computer to display photos. Taking photos and sharing them can now happen at the same time and on the go, because you can upload all your photos to ALBUM, a device with the size of a slim diary and the weight of a fresh apple, directly from your camera and keep them with you all the time.

ALBUM features the highest quality display and a great design with the right balance of simplicity and function

If you want to show off your exotic vacation photos to your friends you generally need a computer, a specific television screen, or at least a high quality printer. However, this equipment is not always readily available, or using it would interrupt the flow of events. So rather than jamming your audience into your study, to view the show on your desktop, you may decide against it, and the photos you were once so eager to share will likely never be seen. Perhaps you can show the photos on your camera or your mobile telephone, but browsing through photos on a small low-resolution screen is far from ideal.
