Seems like an expensive solution... silly anecdote I feel like sharing ahead: 4 years ago as a senior in highschool, I built a wireless digital picture frame using a laptop purchased for $90, a customized frugal distribution of linux on a CF->IDE adapter and a friend's wifi dongle. A bit (heh) thicker than this (used a lightbox and just put the border piece at the front of the box) and a less pixel-dense screen, but otherwise comparable. Told my father to put pictures in a folder that was shared via Samba and they magically appear and rotate on the picture frame. It's still running, though I had to edit the wireless key on it once (fortunately I was forward thinking enough to create a separate FAT partition where my config files are read from). Somehow feels a bit techier/satisfying than throwing a $500 iPad in a frame.
