Microsoft: Redmond buys Photo Sharing Service WebFives
As always, Microsoft is very late to the game. Maybe it’s a part of their strategy: wait until Google (Picasa Web Albums) and Yahoo (Flickr) establish solid market positions, and then develop or buy an (usually inferior) product of their own and try to corner those remaining 10% of users. This time, they’ve acquired WebFives (previously Vizrea), a photo/video/audio sharing site primarily aimed at mobiles, specifically Nokia devices. In typical Microsoft fashion, they’re promptly shutting down the service (current users have 30 days to download their content) which will probably reemerge later as a Microsoft branded product.

Pricey but cool: Philips 9FF2M4 LCD Photo Frame
This is a pretty terrific - but somewhat expensive - idea that needs according to various testers just a bit more refining. The Philips 9FF2M4 Photo Frame looks like any framed photograph but the picture is actually an LCD screen that displays any or all of the 90 or so pictures loaded into the device’s memory or plugged in by way of a memory card. It takes most popular cards.
You can have this operating within minutes - thanks to super easy instructions and intuitive controls comprising three buttons and a joystick, which is easily accessible at the rear. However, the joystick is imprecise and easily flipped to the wrong menu option. The bottomline: This is a beautiful but frame and the perfect gift idea for this holiday season. The sticker price of around $300 is somewhat hefty, but compared to other digital phoro frames out there, this is certainly one of the moste beautiful and technically most advanced on the market.
