The D-Link DSM-210 Internet Photo Frame is a fabulous digital picture frame that allows you to manage and display your digital photos via the Internet (requires an Internet connection) and I received one to check out.

It was easy to operate and took just a few minutes to sit down and learn about it. Word of wisdom: you need the remote because the interface is mostly controlled by it, so don't put it aside in the wrappings, it's important.

You can connect it to the Internet through a wired 10/100Mbps Ethernet cable or a wireless 802.11g connection. It has 1g of internal memory, so it can also be used as a standard digital picture frame and it accepts flash memory cards including: MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick and SD Memory Cards.

It has a bright, 10 inch display and the unit can be wall mounted or displayed on a table or shelf like a traditional picture frame.

One of my favorite things about the frame is that it has a motion detector to sense when the room is empty, or when someone comes in so it's not displaying a slode show to an empty room. My dad has burned out more than one digital frame when it's been on for a long time, so this feature is important.

I only have 2 items for a wish list for the frame: it would be handy to be able to control the brightness and I wish that when you turned on the power, it would return to the last mode you had it on before it was turned off instead of having to go through the menu again.

One way to manage your digital picture frame is through the Frame Channel. It allows you to set up your frame to incorporate images from photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Picasa, Facebook and more.

You can also e-mail your photos directly to Frame Channel and you can give your friends the address of your frame, and they can add pictures, too. Don't worry, you can approve them, first.

The Frame Channel also has different modules that can display dynamic content such as news, weather and sports on your frame.

The D-Link DSM-210 Internet Photo Frame retails for around $240.00 and it would make a great addition to your digital picture collection or a gift for parents or grandparents out of town. You can manage photos remotely and they can enjoy near real time pictures of the kids, a vacation and more (Internet connection required for them to receive the pictures over the Internet).
