JOBO AG announces the addition of a new elegantly styled 15-inch digital picture
frame to the growing JOBO family of digital picture frames. When turned on, the

display. When turned off, the JOBO Mirage L functions as an elegant mirror whether
placed on a table or desk or mounted to a wall. In addition to high style, the
new Mirage L features 1GB of internal memory capable of storing up to 4,000 pictures.
This new digital picture frame is designed to keep memories alive by showcasing
digital pictures in an automatic slideshow presentation giving precious digital
memories new life. Additionally, this frame enables users to highlight their special
photographic moments and easily share them with family and friends. This new JOBO
digital picture frame features a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution with a contrast ratio

media card into the frame to transfer the images to the frame's internal
memory or they can download digital image files from their PC or USB device such
as JOBO's line of image storage units onto the JOBO Mirage L via the included
USB OTG cable. This model features USB 2.0 high speed capability and supports
all popular memory cards such as CF, SD, MMC, MS and xD. Easy to use buttons on
the back of the frame support intuitive operation of all important functions.

adjustments conveniently without the need to be a photo expert.
