WiiPhoto turns your TV into a digital photo frame
Friday, September 3rd, 2010If you ever wished for a way to view your iPhone snapshots on a bigger screen (without first copying them to your PC), here’s your answer. WiiPhoto transmits photos to your HDTV by way of your Wii game console.
It’s a terrific idea, but one marred by a couple of gotchas and the limitations of the console itself.
The app works with any iOS device that’s connected to your home Wi-Fi network: iPhone, iPod, iPad, and so on. You’ll also need the Wii Internet Channel on your console if you don’t already have it.
WiiPhoto taps your Wii console to show photos from a variety of sources.
When you fire up WiiPhoto, it displays your device’s IP address, which you type into the Wii’s browser. Once that connection is made, all that remains is to choose a source for the photos you want to view: Facebook, Flickr, SmugMug, your Mac, or your on-device photo library.
