January 24, 2011CES 2011, VideoCES, dia, parrotTodd Cochrane

The Dia wireless digital picture frame by NoDesign for Parrot takes digital picture frames to a new level. It’s genuinely stylish, drawing on the visual design of traditional light boxes, with the backlight separated from the LCD.

It has both Wifi and Bluetooth compatibility and the ubiquitous iPhone app to send pictures directly to the frame.

Coming later in 2011 for around $500 for the 10″ wireless version. Expensive, but you know you want one.
