Would you spend $500 for a Parrot 7-inch digital photo frame?

Parrot’s latest digital photo frame is possibly the most expensive digital photo display that you could find on the market today. And aside from the fact that it was designed by an interior designer named Andree Putman, there’s nothing extra ordinary about this frame to merit such a high price tag. Putman was also responsible for interior design works on some posh hotels, so if that fact excites you then you may be pleased by the digital frame she designed for Parrot which is retailing for a whopping $500.
And what do you get from that price? Nothing much really, except for a typical digital photo frame that was built with a large plastic bezel. You’d also get a 10MB of storage capacity for around 400 of your digital photos, an SD card slot just in case the 10MB storage is not enough for your needs, and a power switch that turns the digital frame into a clock.
And yes, as with other Parrot digital photo frames, the Putman-designed photo frame also comes with Bluetooth, so you can send or transfer photos from any Bluetooth enable device to the frame without the need for annoying USB cables.
Anything more? Actually, no, that is just about it for Parrot’s 7-inch Putman-designed digital photo frame. Still interested in snagging one of this $500 frames? Good luck finding one, as this model is said to be available only at UK-based concept store Few and Far. But after checking the site, we could not find any digital photo frame in their product list. Even Parrot UK’s online store doesn’t seem to carry it. But we’re sure, this digital photo frame is available somewhere. Do tell us if ever you find one.
