LG adds DVD player to its digital photo frame

There are way too may digital photo frames in the market, but this one by LG caught my attention because it doubles as a DVD player. Chip Chick spotted the LG's 8-inch Portable DVD Player and Digital Photo Frame which apparently can store up to 250 photos in its built-in memory, or play images stored in DVDs and CDs.

I've always liked the idea of digital photo frames, but not many people want to spend $200 on something that only plays photo slideshows. With the DP889 you can play movies, and even hook up a gaming console if you don't mind playing games on its 8-inch screen. Since it's got a car charger, you can basically take it on the road like any portable DVD player and keep yourself entertained for hours. This would be a great gift for any college student.

Some other features include audio/video inputs and outputs, memory card slot, USB ports, built-in speakers, and dual headphone jacks. It normally retails for $280, but Circuit City is currently selling them for about $200. I wish my digital photo frame had a DVD option, because right now it's just sitting in a corner collecting dust.
