Digital Photo Frames Flying Off The Shelves
Posted December 20, 2007 
Comments(0) Sales of digital photo frames are up 900% this year over 2006 and PC World are selling them at a rate of 10 per minute as Christmas hurtles closer.
Volumes sold are doubling each week the retailer said, as people finally go mad for digital frames – which have become a lot more affordable and numerous this year. The news has been trundled out with the premise that they could lead to a decline in the traditional postcard – even the saucy seaside cartoon ones – which is doubtful.
Niall O’Keeffe from PC World said: “If you’re on holiday or for that matter at a party – wherever you are really – you can send digital pictures direct to the frame via an Internet connection. We suspect that this will lead to a decline in the postcard as this digital alternative emerges, though whether or not we’ll see a similar level of sauciness in the pictures is anyone’s guess!â€
Shopping site Kelkoo has confirmed that the UK has gone digital photo frame bonkers, saying the most popular search right now is not – shock/horror - the elusive Wii – but 'digital picture frame'.
Still, on Christmas morning, I guarantee that ‘little Johnny’ will kick you in the balls if you give him one of these to make up for the Wii you failed to order early enough.-Martin Lynch
