Yesterday in New York Toshiba formally announced its entry into the digital picture frame market.

Surprised? You shouldn’t be. The TV monitor manufacturer, which has panels, designers, and brand recognition, has had digital photo frames in other markets outside the U.S.

Toshiba is calling their spin on digital frames a “Digital Media Frame” to stress the fact that they can do more than just show pictures once connected with Wi-Fi to the Internet.

“You can get digital photo frames today for $20 to $30, but this is more than that. We call them digital media frames because we are positioning them as devices to do much more than just show photos. These are more lifestyle devices that give you the news and weather and a range of other personalized content options,” said Louis Masses, Toshiba DAV group product planning director.

The frames will be released in an 8 and 10 inch version. Initial models offer a high-gloss floating-glass look in the 8-inch screen sizes, while the 10-inch model is looks similar to the company’s Deep Lagoon 2009 LCD TV design style.

The 8-inch Digital Media Frame comes with either black or white frame bezels. The white 8-inch DMF82XWU and the black 8-inch DMF82XKU will each carry $180 suggested retails. The 10-inch model will be offered only in a translucent black. The 10-inch DMF102XKU will have a suggested retail of $230. Both displays are said to be high-res, built-in speakers, and support for WMA and MP3 as well as Jpeg, TIFF and BMP.

CEIVA welcomes Toshiba to the growing list of manufacturers.

Let’s face it, there is ton of ordinary and mundane “content” dumped out on to the web each day. But, every so often you will stumble on a picture, song, story or video that touches something deep within you… for it captures that which is truly important to you.

Since sharing is a core value here at CEIVA, I thought I would share a video with you. This video touches my colleagues and I,  for it reflects the sentiments we hold for the photos in your lives.

Quite simply, we know you treasure your photos, that is why we are committed to finding new ways to share and show those moments you have captured in a picture.

So while the words spoken in this video are Kodak’s and not ours… they certainly embody what CEIVA knows to be true.

Thank you Kodak for saying it so well.
