Parrot Specchio Electronic Digital Photo Frame by Martin Szekely
Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in Gadgets

At the end of October, Parrot, the first company that introduced an electronic digital photo frame on the market, at least from what we know, announced a cool new model designed by Martin Szekely. It was called Parrot Specchio and the name is the Italian correspondent for “mirrorâ€.
I don’t know if this cool mirror finish is meant to cover the fact that the LCD of electronic digital photo frames doesn’t display clear images in all angles and in sunlight, but Parrot Specchio is indeed a stylish model and in addition, it features wireless connectivity, like all the high-end frames.
You can use it for sharing pictures with friends and even entire albums wirelessly. It allows you to send emails and post photos on social networking websites like Picasa, Flickr and Fotolog.
Other features of the new electronic digital photo frame include Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, miniUSB port and SD card slot for more memory. It is available for purchase staring this month at a retail price of $500.
"If you look in the mirror, your left is on your left and your right is on your right. On the photo, your left is on your right and your right is on your left. So, this object is both a mirror and a photo," explained Martin Szekely.
The French designer showcases his works in world's major museums such as the Centre Georges Pompidou and Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
