Wireless Sony photo frame shoots for Vaio design

Sony clearly dipped its brush into the Vaio design palette for this CP1 Wi-Fi photo frame. It looks, feels, and smells like a Vaio, which should go matchingly well with the rest of your Vaio collection. And like all Vaios, there's a certain expectation that you'll get what you pay for.
Besides the patently handsome aesthetics, there's wireless connectivity for streaming Internet radio and news (there's an RSS reeder); onboard stereo speakers; and a mini remote to exploit the wireless option. The 7-inch LCD display itself runs 16 million colors at 800x480 resolution. There's also a digital/analog clock. And you can save energy by dimming the screen automatically when a room's lights are turned off.
To beef up the measly 128MB internal storage, there's a memory slot that will even support--thankfully, in a rare non-Sony move--SD/MMC and CompactFlash, besides the Memory Stick media. Although with wireless, you can always piggyback off online albums.
Love it? Want it? Well, like all things Sony, there's a pretty premium attached to it. Like, say, $300? In any case, you have till mid-October to start saving for this.
