Thanks guys! I'm Edward, one of the founders of Picwing, and we're really excited about finally telling the world about the product!
Judging from the number of orders we've been getting, it seems like people have been waiting for something like this for a while. While there are other wireless digital photo frame products out there, we really feel that we've been the first company to tackle it from the software perspective.
One simple suggestion that seems to be missing and can add a lot of value for very little cost...
Allow the frames to be personalised with custom messages engraved on the wood/glass. Finding a good engraving service is easy enough, but if you had a web-form for personalised messages (with preview), these would make excellent presents for weddings/birthdays/anniversaries/etc.
Everyone loves personalisation, and the sentimental value add-in is immense.
Just ordered mine. Look forward to getting it soon(ish).
Thanks! We are actually hand-building these things right now, which is why it's taking so long to ship these out to people. They're very far from perfect, and most of our hardware will probably change in the future, but we wanted to get them out to people as soon as possible to get some feedback on them.
Is the power supply removable with a standard DC connector or is it built into the device?
The reason why I'm asking is that I'd like to purchase one for my mother, but since she lives in Australia the plug will be a problem unless I use a converter - which has the potential to cause problems for her (as she's not too tech savvy) and it would be easier if I go find a suitable power supply.
Congrats to the PicWing team. They're building the true next generation of the digital connected home. It's rare to get a team together that is so talented both on software user experience and hardware design.
