Ality, a developer of innovative digital home products, today
announced the latest Wi-Fi digital photo frame series, the Wireless
PIXXA(TM). This enhanced digital photo frame is the first to enable
friends and families to send favorite photos directly to the digital
display via an instant messenger application.
Ality will showcase the new Wireless PIXXA digital photo frame at
the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show, at the Sands Expo
and Convention Center (booth number 73851), January 7-10, 2008 and at

Sunday, January 6, 2008.
Featuring an 8-inch digital LCD screen, Wireless PIXXA is an
original digital photo frame with Wi-Fi capabilities, an intuitive
user-friendly interface and a rechargeable battery. Multiple user
accounts within the device mean that every member in the household can
enjoy their own multi-media libraries customized to their preferences
and personalized settings.
"With a sleek, minimalist design and expanded features, Wireless
PIXXA takes the popularity of digital photo frames one step further
with Internet connectivity and photo-sharing capabilities that make
this a real-time display and communication tool for cherished
memories," said William Wong, CEO of Ality. "This product satisfies
the tastes of digital enthusiasts who want something more than a
static display, and it is at home in any room."
Unique features of the new Wireless PIXXA digital photo frame
include:
Photo Messenger(TM) - Send and receive digital photos just like
instant messenger
Wireless PIXXA is a Wi-Fi compatible digital photo frame. With the
peer-to-peer Photo Messenger feature, users can instantly send and
receive photos to and from family and friends from anywhere in the
world via the Internet -- either direct from a computer or from PIXXA
to PIXXA frame. Photo Messenger allows users to instantly share
digital photos with their family and friends, as well as chat via the
digital photo frame, similar to available instant messaging programs.
Live Calendar(TM) - Organize your life
Designed to suit any lifestyle, the Live Calendar feature enables
users to synchronize their schedules with popular online calendar
websites, such as Google Calendar, to view all appointments in the
comfort of their living room without the need for a computer. Live
Calendar also enables users to attach photos to special dates - for
added creativity around the occasion or memorable moments.
Live News(TM) - Morning news delivery right to your bedside
With the Live News(TM) feature, users can choose specific
information to receive via the Wireless PIXXA digital photo frame,
providing instant access to continually updated, wirelessly streamed
information such as news, sports, weather, traffic, entertainment,
horoscopes, stock quotes and other lifestyle updates. With Wireless
PIXXA, knowing when to pack sun block or umbrella is a snap.
Ality Online Photo Messenger Website - Organize and share digital
photos
Ality Online provides all Wireless PIXXA users - as well as
non-users - with an online account where they can register for special
photo-sharing services, including 50MB of photo storage for up to 600
photos. From the site, users can exchange photos with friends and
family, and identify contacts using thumbnail images or avatar viewing
modes suited to personal taste preferences. Ality Online will
automatically resize photos to ensure easy and efficient delivery and
offers a variety of digital photo frame settings.
Greeting Cards and Event Invitations - Personalized, wireless
distribution
With this feature, friends and family can send holiday and
birthday cards as well as event invitations straight to the Wireless
PIXXA digital photo frame. The frame then alerts users when an event
is scheduled.
