Then I've got a 60gig high res music playing wifi-ing BT picture frame, for not much more than the price of a larger digital frame.
I've gigs and gigs of photos, so a frame that requires memory cards just isn't practical for me.
I took an old Dell (like REALLY OLD) and built a picture frame over the weekend.... I was so pleased with how it turned out that I'm planning on buying some $100 laptops off ebay and giving them as Christmas presents.
I tied it to my flickr account too which is nice.
I actually gutted the laptop so everything would fit nicely inside the frame...a little hot glue and an installation of DSL - Damned Small Linux and it was good to go!
