Mustek PF-i700 Digital Photo Frame Hooks up with Your IPod

Mustek just rolled out its PF-i700 digital photo frame that has an integrated iPod docking station. Since digital picture frames are so hot this holiday season, perhaps the company figured it might as well ride that wave file satisfying the iPod crowd the same time.

Unfortunately, like lots a inexpensive digital photo frames, its 7-inch LCD panel has a 16×9 aspect ratio with a low-rez 480×234 screen. That’s not going to look too good, but hey, it’s cheap at $US129.99, and you can watch MPEG 4, XviD and motion-JPEG movies on it.

Mustek helpfully tosses in a couple of stereo speakers with a headphone jack, but still, most digital cameras shoot in 4×3, so this 16×9 frame will usually give you black bands on either side of your pictures. Look for it in March. Bah, humbug. [Mustek]
