miFrame turns your iPad into a digital photo frame

Still haven’t found the right stand for your iPad? Check out the miFrame, a stand that doubles as a picture frame enclosure. Available in black or silver, it’s made out of aluminum and can be positioned in portrait or landscape orientation. Also included in the box is a 5-foot long USB cable that runs from the base and can be plugged in to a power source to keep the iPad charged.

As for that picture frame enclosure part, the miFrame can “handle” 8×10 photographs, which will be visible once you remove the iPad.

There is one caveat though, and it’s got to do with the way you get Apple’s tablet in and out of miFrame. You see, you have to snap the frame’s border off to get the iPad inside and that’s not something you can do with one hand — you’ll be holding the iPad in one hand and removing the frame’s border with the other one.

So what do you say? Does miFrame work for you? And more importantly, are you willing to pay $79.99 to get it? It’s readily available from its makers (Striped Sail) and Amazon.com…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    One of the most dumb accessories I’ve seen. The frame should cover the iPad bezel to get the effect right.
    I still prefer using the iPad dock for that matter and for $80 it’s a steal.
