PhotoVu's Compact 17-inch Frame With RSS Reader, Wi-Fi
Posted by Sean Fallon at 9:55 AM on November 16, 2007
PhotoVu is doing what they do best with the new 1765w, namely develop cool RSS- and Wi-Fi-enabled digital photo frames —except this time they are cramming it all into a relatively compact 17-inch form factor. The frame comes equipped with a 1280 x 800 LCD display, built-in software to handle apps like iPhoto and Picasa, an RSS reader, support for services like Flickr, SmugMug, and .Mac as well as the ability to organise it all remotely via the internet. The whole package clocks in at a not-so-affordable $US699, so make sure you have some photogenic friends and family. [Product Page]

@bandit: You are absolutely right. I tore up an old giveaway IBM Thinkpad and got a custom frame ordered for it. The end result was a 14" digital frame with WIFI (that does everything this does). Total price? $37 for the frame, and about three hours of my time while watching TV. That's it.
(Even if you didn't have a disposable old laptop, you can pick one up for well under $100, such as [cgi.ebay.com])
