Thrown together by well-traveled ODM Inventec, i-mate’s new Momento series of digital picture frames break some important ground. First of all, they do WiFi — a seemingly obvious feature for this category of devices that’s inexplicably missing from a majority of the mainstream models currently in the marketplace. Next up, the Momento is among the very first commercially available devices to support Microsoft’s SideShow concept for secondary displays that should (theoretically, anyway) untether all manner of information from the PCs on which it typically resides. In that respect, the Momento is very much a first-generation device — but as a picture frame, we came into the hands-on expecting a certain level of refinement, now that they’ve had a few years to ripen on the vine. Does the unit deliver on its promise as a highly connected, Vista-compatible accessory? Does it deliver as a plain ol’ frame, for that matter? We took the $200 Momento 70 — the smaller of the two, clocking in at 7 inches of diagonal real estate — for a test drive to get some answers.
