T-Mobile's CAMEO frame shows holiday snaps while you're still taking them

It's been nearly a year since Parrot announced its DF7700 GPRS-endowed picture frame, said to possess the mystical ability to pull photographs straight out of the ether. Now T-Mobile has pledged to bring Parrot's magic frame to the US as the CAMEO, a $100 device that, when coupled with a $10/month service fee, can be the recipient of picture-bearing messages. When you get bored with that feature (or that fee), there's a mini-USB port plus slots for SD/MMC cards that will enable it to accept pics in a more traditional manner. Its 7-inch screen has a 720 x 480 resolution and is surrounded by an interchangeable leather border guaranteed to look cheap in any decor -- not just those with golden mirrors astride a marble mantelpieces.

So cheap-looking it will even make your single wide trailer park home look expensive!

Since the Cameo is not tied-down to a fixed data network like cable or DSL (Wi-Fi or ethernet), it's particularly well suited as a gift for someone who is traveling all over the country - like those RV'ing retired grandparents or that trucker husband who are on the road all the time.
