Kensington® Frames Capture Digital Images Away from the Desktop

Digital Album Line Brings Advanced Technology to the Picture Frame

San Mateo, CA (October 2, 2000)--According to recent industry statistics, fourteen billion amateur digital images will be created in the United States this year.* While many rely on printed photos to display their favorite images offline, Kensington Technology Group offers a safe and stylish way to exhibit these digital memories. Kensington is hitting the retail market this fall with its first line of digital frames, the Digital Photo Album and Digital Photo Album Plus-offering a quick, easy way to display a digital slide show of images on your desk, coffee table or anywhere you choose.

Kensington brings advanced technology to an attractively designed brushed metallic look frame. Digital Photo Album is the easiest way to create an impressive display of digital images offline and the first to work without a memory stick or additional subscription services. Quickly download digital images via the USB port, unplug the unit from the computer, and set it anywhere you want. Then plug Digital Photo Album into an electrical outlet to display one photo or a series of photos.

"Kensington recognized the exponential increase in the use of digital images and the desire to share memories away from the computer," says Nica Graziotto, senior product manager, Kensington Technology Group. "The Digital Photo Album is a natural gift for anyone who uses digital cameras, scanners or picture CDs."

Digital Photo Album includes Album Manager™ software which enables users to crop, organize, and resize images as well as view images in landscape or portrait mode. Built-in controls adjust contrast, power and photo selection. The Digital Photo Album and Digital Photo Album Plus will be available this October for an estimated street price of $299 and $399 respectively, just in time for the 2000 holiday season. Decorative frames are available separately via Kensington's partner eframes.com.Features include:
