Comment on Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.
Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the Kaleido screen is FAR from photo quality.

This is not kaleido, this is Spectra 6 which is unusable for e-readers as it’s meant for digital signage. It takes as much as 30 seconds to refresh a spectra 6 screen.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said “similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft” and I didn’t read further.
