Aequitas Technologies seems to have popped up out of nowhere, bringing with it a digital photo frame featuring email integration, the iGala. The 800 x 600 touchscreen frame uses Microsoft's FrameIt technology to receive content over a WiFi connection. FrameIt lets you set up a content channel for your frame, customizing it with RSS feeds, weather reports, and traffic information. Rather than compute all this on the frame, with limited processing power, FrameIt renders the content to a still image, which it periodically refreshes and sends to the frame. Aequitas has also set up email integration for the iGala, so you can assign the device an email address so that any photo mailed to it will automatically display on the frame. The company is selling a 1GB model now for $240.
