We've seen a few WiFi and RSS enabled digital photo frames from PhotoVu in the past, but they've all been overly large for our city-sized living spaces, which is why we're happy to see the somewhat more reasonable 17-inch 1765w make its debut. The 16:10 frame reads all the obvious digital camera formats, but unlike most other frames, it includes plugins for popular apps like Picasa and iPhoto that let you handle file management directly inside your photo app, instead of having to play the scale-and-export game. Like all of PhotoVu's other frames, the 1765w also features an RSS reader and web server for completely remote administration, and integration with services like Flickr, SmugMug, and .mac. Of course, all this hotness is going to cost you -- the 1765w runs a steep $699 direct from PhotoVu.
