"Part of our vision is to bring generations together through powerful but easy-to-use technology," commented Herve Robin, CEO of Spheris Digital Ltd, parent company of Pix-Star. "Our newest frame has been specifically designed with seniors in mind. It offers even more bells and whistles than the previous Pix-Star generation but is still incredibly user-friendly. Once the initial configuration is done, the frame runs on full autopilot, receiving photo-mails and playing slideshows automatically. Plus, Pix-Star frames not only receive but also send pictures, so a family separated by thousands of miles can feel closer in an instant."

The frame displays crisp pictures with bright colors with a 4:3 display ratio, ideal for most digital camera formats. The frame seamlessly integrates with more than 20 online services, including Dropbox, Facebook, Google +, FlickR, Instagram and more.

Setting up the frame out of the box takes a few minutes. It uses Wi-Fi to access the Internet and has its own email address — and therefore requires no computer to send and receive photo-mails directly from the frame via email attachment. So senior users need never to touch their photo frames to receive instant updates from family members around the world.

Moreover, FREE email address hosting is included with absolutely NO monthly fee and also FREE and UNLIMITED online picture storage. Grandma and Grandpa will find it extremely easy-to-use, while other family members can help them through a FREE dedicated account at https://www.pix-star.com, from which the frame can be remotely controlled.

The newest model offers the ability for users to configure alarms to remind for birthdays, meetings or doctor appointments, a possibly lifesaving feature for those with memory shortcomings. It also includes brain games designed to keep the mind engaged, here also specifically designed for our elderly loved ones. Sudoku, chess mate and pair matching are just a few of the entertaining games that come pre-loaded.

Pix-Star's latest addition to its digital photo frame family looks to continue an award-winning tradition. In the past few years, reviews of the Pix-Star FotoConnect frames have been outstanding; out of 700-plus customer ratings on Amazon, more than 500 are 5 stars.
