Epson's portable photo printer with digital frame

In Japan, it's a tradition to send out postcards for New Year on January 1, and most families like to make their own to send out to friends and relatives. Epson Japan probably saw a potential in this market and introduced the Colorio Me E-800 postcard printer.

However, this portable gadget comes with a nice 7-inch LCD which doubles as a digital photo frame when it is not churning out greeting cards. Another interesting feature of the E-800 is that it is bundled a remote control as well as a wireless keyboard. This can be used for typing out customized messages on pictures. The inkbox has an onboard card reader which accepts commonly used media such as Memory Stick and SD/SDHC. Users can also transfer images to the E-800 from their mobile phones via the optional Bluetooth adapter.

The E-800 is currently available only in Japan and is retailing for about US$600. Epson Singapore told CNET Asia the company has intentions to bring a similar product soon to Asia, though it may not be able to create customized postcards like the E-800 and will probably print photographs only. Pricing-wise, consumers can expect it to be more affordable than the E-800. Check back soon for more updates.
