I built a small web interface for it where we can all upload pictures. My family is in different parts of the world so it's nice to send the pictures right into my parents' living room with two mouse clicks.
The frame re-scans the feed about every 10 minutes.
But no, you'll never get anything as cheap as these buffalo monitors.
Comments suggest you can place any RSS feed into it.
It looks like a good solution
I want a frame that serves up a samba folder over a wifi network. That's all. I can make a dozen different things that stuff pictures dynamically into that folder, all the frame needs to do is cycle through them.
It just ALSO has support for windows frameit, flicker and picasa.
It's a pretty nice piece of hardware.
