RedPost/Kit compared to other digital photo frames

Phil forwarded me a NYT article (free reg required) about digital picture frames that included the following chart (can I repost the chart here? I'm not sure…better to ask for forgiveness?):

RedPost/Kit is going to cost about $549 (to start, it'll come down), has a 19" screen, 60% more pixels than the 15" PanDigital, a distinctive metal frame (which I like better than the wood, but that's just me), and is 100% hackable. Is it worth the extra $249 over the PanDigital (which doesn't have Wifi) for all of these features? I guess I'll find out. I think it is, but I may be biased.

Also, RedPost/Kit will be available for purchase within 2 weeks at most. Finally. I first planned to launch it May 1. I'm following Microsoft's release timelines now (quasi-Vista was first promised for late 2002 but was finally more or less fully launched in early 2007).

  • The benefit of the Kit (also a potential downside if you're afraid of electrocuting yourself) is that YOU wire it up. So you choose how long the cord is. You can even hardwire it into the wall. Or run conduit to it. Or use the included 6' cable, cut the cable to whatever length you want, and use that.

    At this point, a 12" model isn't in the works.

    I don't know what they're like over there, but in the UK, if there is one thing I would kill for - it is a Wifi digiphotoframe without a one foot long power cable. I can't mount it on the wall if it has a power cable, and I can't mount it anywhere else if the cable doesn't reach.

    Also 19" is cool, any chance of a 12" as well?
