Technology leaps ahead of consumer thinking on this one. NIX Digital has created a motion-sensing, energy saving picture frame. The NIX X10A Energy Saving Digital Photo Frame will switch itself on when you’re within 2.5 meters of it.

Its cool features include 1GB internal memory, a high resolution 10-inch LCD screen, able to take downloads from any brand of camera, and “drag and drop” from your PC via USB cable. You can also use SD, SDHC, xD, Sony MS, USB Stick compatible memory cards to display pictures on the frame. Program the switch-off mode by setting its internal timer from 1 minute to 24 hours, or use the handy remote control (had to have one) to make switching a breeze. �89.99 from Amazon.com.

The worlds first digital photo frame with a motion detection sensor has arrived! The Motion Detection Sensor delivers two distinct benefits. First it saves energy by only powering on and off when it senses you’re nearby. Secondly it provides the highest order of convenience by switching the frame on and off without you having to so much as touch a button!
