The Parrot company has launched quite an impressive product line-up over time, almost each of the company's products having some connection either to mobile phones, or, more importantly, to Bluetooth technology. However, the company's latest announcement refers to a product from the first category, namely the DF7700 digital photo frame, which allows users to display photos sent via MMS.

This is possible due to the fact that the new digital photo frame from Parrot features a SIM card with a dedicated call number built directly into
the photo frame, allowing users to send the photos straight to the PARROT DF7700 via MMS from a mobile phone, wherever they might be in the world and regardless of the operator.

However, that's only the beginning of what this advanced photo frame has to offer. Thus, the device also features a USB connection and an SD card slot, which can be used for transferring up to 500 photos directly into the Parrot DF7700's memory. Furthermore, the device has been equipped with a wide, 7-inch TFT LCD display, which displays the photo at the highest possible quality.

Another interesting selling point of the DF7700 model is the fact that it is capable of carrying out a number of important adjustments automatically.

In addition, a position sensor detects the orientation of the frame and automatically rotates the photos, either in portrait or landscape mode, to match the chosen position.

Furthermore, a light sensor continually measures the amount of light in the room and adjusts the brightness of the frame accordingly and the device, like most of the other models available on the market, also allows users to choose their slide show settings.

Unfortunately, the company has not provided any pricing or availability details (they haven't even provided a product photo), but they did promise that the product will hit the shelves before the end of 2007 and we're waiting for the company to make good on their promise.
