Parrot, a leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, is demonstrating two new cutting-edge consumer elec-tronics technologies at the Consumer Electronics Show. They include a digital photo frame that accepts photos transferred from cell phones via MMS, as well as a line of products with easy-pairing Near Field Communications (NFC) technology that eliminates the manual pairing process typically required for Bluetooth and other wireless devices.

Parrot DF7700 MMS digital picture frame
The new PARROT DF7700 7-inch digital photo frame has an integrated SIM card with a dedicated call number so consumers can send photos to that number across a room or around the world just as easily as they would send a text message. Now, newly weds can send photos instantly from their honeymoon and families can share pictures of new babies with parents and grandparents wherever they are in the world. The possibilities are endless. The new PARROT DF7700 frame also features a USB connection and an SD card slot for more conventional methods of photo transfer. The PARROT DF7700 is a real electronic photo album, storing over 500 snaps in its internal memory, accepting all photos, whatever the source. The Parrot MMS digital photo frame is currently only available in France and is being sold through a French telecom.

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, has been held annually for over 40 years now. The first CES took place in New York City in 1967 featuring 200 exhibitors and 17,500 visitors. Since that time, the total show has increased by a factor 10. This year's CES show will again take place in Las Vegas, as usual, where visitors are welcomed from January 7 to January 10. The CES event appears to become more important every year. It is the first major world event where more than 2,200 CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) members are able to display their involvement in relation to development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronic products such as audio, photo, video, mobile communication, and accessories. The CES 2010 starts off a brand-new year, offering a peek of what we can expect in the upcoming season regarding new products and services.
