The New Bedside Companion

January 19th, 2010

Philips has taken the photo frame multiplied it by five, and added voice message capability, a radio and alarm clock. Alas, it ends up doing none of the above terribly well. With no card slots or Wi-fi, you can transfer up to 20 pictures to the meagre memory via USB. You can then try to view them as slide show on screens so tiny and low resolution, you’d never see it if you have myopia, and looking at it without wearing your glasses in the morning. Family members can record poor-quality voice messages to go with the pics. Quite neat, if your living in outer Mongolia or somewhere and want to hear your mum’s voice when you wake up.
