Philips takes the LCD photo frame to the next level, where it showed a prototype of its latest model that trumps its previous frame by a few orders of magnitude. This one automatically changes the picture when you turn the frame, and has a feature that we've been waiting for, the ability to send pictures to it via email. It also has a touchscreen for easier editing, and lets you expand pictures across two or more frames.
Now if Philips could just match the feature set of the now-defunct eStarling frame, which could not only receive photos via email but was WiFi-enabled, this would be a sure-fire hit. The eStarling could even play back a Flickr set that you could refresh from afar. C'mon Philips, make yours wireless, too.

eInk. This needs to be eInk.
Maybe it's just me, but does the ability to send pictures to this device via email seem like an excellent porn/spam opportunity just waiting to happen? I hope Grandma isn't too upset when ads for viagra (or worse) start appearing on her picture frame instead of darling grandson Johnny.
Defunct? eStarling says they'll be shipping by Christmas: http://estarling.com/Default.aspx
