    I’ve recently discovered that Smartparts, makers of Wi-Fi enabled picture frames, is going out of business and will no longer be supporting their products. Your best bet is to wait until their junk is on clearance and then pick it up cheaply. Otherwise, steer clear. A word from the company after the jump.

    Smartparts is in the process of winding its business down. Unfortunately, they were a victim of the economic downturn and are no longer in the DPF business. We apologize for any unfulfilled requests for product and / or information but the situation is beyond our control.
