Mustek Ality PF-T80R Digital Photo Frame

By Andrew Beehler Published October 19, 2009

Mustek is not a name you hear every day in the consumer electronics space. Digital picture frames aren’t exactly popular consumer electronics either. Put the two together though and you actually have a digital picture frame, developed by Hong Kong-based technology company Ality, which looks like it could seriously draw some buyers when it hits retail later this month.

The Mustek Ality PF-T80R Digital Photo Frame has an eight-inch active matrix TFT color display which offers up an impressive 800 x 600 resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio and a mirror-like surface. The frame also has a stylish look about it complete with touch-sensitive buttons which seem to blend smoothly into the black frontal finish.

Built into the PF-T80R is 256MB of memory to store BMP and JPEG digital images. This memory can be expanded upon via a memory card slot which supports MMC, SD, CF, MS and MS Pro memory card formats. Photos can be transferred into the digital picture frame’s memory via a USB 2.0 connection to a computer.

Built-in speakers allow you to play back WAV files in what we assume is a way to offer a music slideshow feature. Photo playback can be scheduled and a built-in rechargeable battery offers the ability to take your frame with you without needing the included AC adapter.

Other features of the PF-T80R include a weight of 2.2 pounds, A/V output, a remote control, clock and calendar display and included accessories such as USB and A/V cables. This digital picture frame is set to price at around $300 USD when it goes on sale.

Strange things are happening as the electric vehicle (EV) industry sits in limbo ahead of the incoming Trump administration’s plans to end tax incentives on EV purchases and production.

The latest exemple comes from Dodge, which is launching a marketing campaign ahead of the 2025 release of its first fully electric EV, the Daytona Charger.

For the U.S. auto industry, if not the global one, 2024 kicked off with media headlines celebrating the "renaissance" of hybrid vehicles. This came as many drivers embraced a practical, midway approach rather than completely abandoning gas-powered vehicles in favor of fully electric ones.

Now that the year is about to end, and the future of tax incentives supporting electric vehicle (EV) purchases is highly uncertain, it seems the hybrid renaissance still has many bright days ahead. Automakers have heard consumer demands and worked on improving the quality and reliability of hybrid vehicles, according to the Consumer Reports (CR) year-end survey.
