Jobo's new 7-inch photo frame includes a remote

The company's PDJ077 digital picture frame has extra features not common for its size.

You know it's bad when the most exciting thing about a product is that it comes with a remote control. However, to be fair to Jobo AG and its PDJ077 digital photo frame, most sub-$100 7-inch displays don't include a remote. Or support for CF cards for that matter. The PDJ077 has both.

The LCD also features an 800x480 resolution with a contrast ratio of 400:1 and user-adjustable brightness. The frame has slots for CF, SD/SDHC, MMC, and MS cards as well as a full-size USB 2.0 port for use with external drives. Another USB port lets you run a cable from the frame to your computer so you can use the PDJ077 as a card reader.

Left out is internal memory, and file support is JPEG only (read: no video playback). But you do get that remote, which the company says controls everything. So that's something.
