I'm with you elvindeath.

I just read the information on their website.

If I read it right, it looks like Momento Live is required for all that funky Intertubes stuff to work. And it will cost you a subscription fee. How much exactly, who knows, but if it's more than $.05 / month, I'm not buying.

The first company to create a skinnable digiframe with wifi and all the applications contained within the frame with a web admin interface (just like wireless routers already do) will make a killing.

Please someone, would you make one already?

I could put together a prototype of the sw part of this thing in less than a week (if I worked on it full-time)...everything needed is OSS...it wouldn't even be hard.

Better go for the Parrot photo viewer. Using that via Bluetooth is way more fun than via cable or similar - where are most pics coming from? Cellphones anyhow!

Too pricey for now...but I'm sure one day they will cost $20 in a Kmart.

As long as it doesn't require that subscription to work. Needing to pay monthly to use a piece of hardware is a deal-breaker.

I'll reserve judgement until you review the released product. After that e-Starling debacle, I'm not getting excited about this crap anymore.

For the love of god, all I want is to be able to hook up my Grandma and my mother in law with a photo frame that I can send pictures to directly. Is that so wrong ? Why can't anyone get that right ? It seems so simple to design.

FYI - don't even bother releasing unless it has "replaceable" encasements. Grandma does not have her house decked out like a flat from Logan's Run ... so the metal and translucent white frame won't be cutting it. Give me a way to snap this thing into an Oak frame, please.
