Toshiba is known as a great manufacturer of laptops, LCD and projectors and something that many consumers may have forgotten is that of their own line of digital picture frames which were initially sold in Europe. But now they have launched two new digital picture frames that are sure to reach a store near you. The two frames are the JournE Air 1000 and 801 which can stream photos from Flickr, Picasa or RSS feeds. From the multimedia side, the frames have integrated speakers and handle audio playback.

The JournE Air 1000 has 1GB of internal memory and comes with a remote control in addition to touch control functionality. It also offers Internet radio and 50 station presets. The smaller 8.4″ JournE Air 801 uses touch controls only and comes with a tiny 128MB of internal memory. The 801 is also set to include an extended desktop feature over USB, though it’s strange the bigger brother wouldn’t offer the same. Both toss in alarm clock and calendar options.

Release dates have not been set but the Toshiba JournE Air 1000 will sell for£169.99 ($237) and the JournE Air 801 will go for £139.99 ($196). There’s no reason to expect a US release however.
