iMate Momento 70 7” WiFi Digital Picture Frame for $79.99

June 1st, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Gadget, Windows Home Server

This woot has expired.  Look at this review of the iMate.

On sellout.woot.com they are offering the iMate 7″ Wifi frame for $79.99 plus $5 S&H.

I have one and stream photos to it from a Vista machine. It likes to play with Windows Media Connect so It will not pull photos from WHS. It’s also a Sideshow supported device. I’m sure it would work just fine with the Media Player Mod for WHS.

I currently have a Windows Media Player advanced playlist created that displays only the last two weeks of photos. I love this feature of the frame.

The screen is mediocre at best. There is also a 10.2″ version available at times. These have been popular Woot Off items. I’ve seen better frames but it’s well worth the price and the wifi has a high cool factor.

The Media Center Show also has a look at the frame.
