There must be a person in your circle of relatives and friends whom you expect to buy a proper gift with much difficulty. You’ll be thinking about it, and you’ll be thinking about it, and nothing. You’d rather never have met this guy, right? Laugh as you can, do it now, because in the Christmas Eve, when you’ll have to convert something into a small attention for that certain someone, you won’t!

If you need a helping hand, then find that eStarling announced a brand new digital photo frame, added to their line of such products, that some of you might already know. Called the ImpactV, the device follows the pattern of its predecessors, meaning it incorporates every feature that was included in previous digital frames. What makes it different from them is the fact that is supports video. Isn’t it something your friend would very much enjoy?

Once again, it might not be the best digital photo frame in the whole world, but it sure is impressive. The ImpactV allows you to wirelessly upload on the frame any video that you’ve once recorded. Being Wi-Fi enabled, the video will be displayed with DVD quality video and the perfect sound that you were looking for, and there’s no doubt about it. All you need is a wireless connection. The only disadvantage of the frame is that it puts a limit to the length of the video clip, which can’t be larger than approximately four minutes. More than that, you’ve got to be patient, in order to get your videos uploaded, as it takes some time. If patience isn’t precisely your thing, stick to the photographs, please!

As for the features, the ImpactV is equipped with an 8-inch LCD display with a resolution of 800x600 pixels, internal communication 802.11 b/g (WEP64, WEP128, WPA1, WPA2), an internal memory of 512MB and MMC/SD/MS card slot, USB 2.0 client, a remote control for “PC-less easy setup”, RTC-powered automatic shutdown feature that helps increasing the reliability and saving energy, external AC adapter.

If your friend really deserves the gesture then you can grab the eStarling ImpactV for $199. And if you see he’s not actually impressed, you can always tell him that this is the best digital photo frame in the world. See if he buys that!
