PRESS RELEASE: Pandigital Supports Microsoft's Windows Live FrameIt



New FrameIt Application part of Microsoft Windows Live will let Consumers Enjoy Photos and Information Wirelessly Streamed to Pandigital Digital Photo Frames

DUBLIN, Calif., Nov. 12 -- Pandigital today announced that it will support Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Live FrameIt application, enhancing consumer's enjoyment of their digital photo frame and extending the ways consumers use them with wireless streaming capabilities.

Pandigital's support of the new FrameIt application means that customers will be able to enjoy RSS feeds streamed wirelessly from Microsoft's Windows Live FrameIt site to their wireless-enabled Pandigital digital photo frame on hundreds of different topics such as news, stock, weather and traffic. The FrameIt application allows customers to view images from photo sharing Web sites directly on their digital photo frame. In addition, customers can also create their own catalog of images and send it to their frame and share it with others. Customers can also sign up to receive themed photo feeds on topics such as travel, animals, architecture and nature.

The first product from Pandigital with FrameIt capabilities integrated will be the company's highly anticipated Kitchen Technology Center. The Pandigital KTC is a first-of-its-kind product that combines an HDTV, digital cookbook, digital photo frame and RSS feed capabilities for one of the most-used areas of the home -- the kitchen. The KTC is shipping to retailers now.

"The Microsoft Live FrameIt application is resounding proof that today's busy consumers have embraced digital photo frames and now want to do more with these useful devices," said Dean Finnegan, CEO, Pandigital. "FrameIt is the ideal complementary application to our new Pandigital Kitchen Technology Center, as it enhances the product's extensive capabilities. Pandigital has been on the forefront of leading the digital photo frame market with its line of innovative and stylish products. We look forward to continuing to work with Microsoft and providing additional functionality to our mutual customers."

Pandigital will introduce additional digital photo frame products that support Microsoft Live FrameIt in 2009, including 8-inch and 10-inch digital photo frames.

Chris Jones, Corporate Vice President of Windows Live Experience Program Management said, "We are thrilled that Pandigital is one of the premier digital photo frame companies supporting the launch of Windows Live FrameIt. This alliance is an important step for consumers who already see the benefits of having well-placed displays in their home and office for enjoying digital photos as well as getting timely access to information."
