Definitely, we'll use our blog for just that. There are a lot of experiences that we've already had that we can write about, and there are lots of experiences that I'm sure we'll have in the future. We'll write about them as much as we can.

The similarities to the 2nd generation Picwing devices that we are building are uncanny. Not only are the specs similar, but the application and UI look the same, and we also have a 10.4" touchscreen.

Thanks! Somehow the seriousness of the anchorman's report cracks me up.

that's a great idea. One other person on hacker news suggested laser engraving on the frames, which I think is awesome!

Hey Max, Thanks for the feedback. As with most beta products, we know that the design isn't great just yet. Design is really important to us, but we've been concentrated on having great functionality and usability for the past 3 months at Y

Wow thats a great suggestion! We wanted to (someday) let people customize the actual frame, but the engraving takes its to a whole new level! The way Apple allows you to do it with iPods is really nice. We'll definitely look into this featu

number 27 definitely matched what we are doing. The beauty of hardware these days is that its not as scary as most software people thing. Hardware these days really just means low-level software.

cool! We're glad that Mike used Picwing to power his social experiment =)

This is a really cool idea too, and it's def on our feature list. We would also keep in mind that all your pictures on facebook are not necessarily the pictures you want on your grandmas photo frame =)

Thanks! We are actually hand-building these things right now, which is why it's taking so long to ship these out to people. They're very far from perfect, and most of our hardware will probably change in the future, but we wanted to get the

We realize that there is sort of a disconnect between the people who buy this thing, and the people who this is intended for (i.e. grandma with no wifi). We're exploring possible avenues for this, including having low cost GSM connectivity

Thats exactly the long-term direction that we want Picwing to go. Pictures are really just the beginning for us: We would love to enable applications like email, video conferencing, and more that your Grandma would be able to use in a reall

Thanks guys! I'm Edward, one of the founders of Picwing, and we're really excited about finally telling the world about the product! Judging from the number of orders we've been getting, it seems like people have been waiting for something

thanks for the tips! I think it will really help this weekend, I especially like the "It has to look really really cool" tip. I really think that having really fancy looking demo is key to getting people excited about your product, even th

I've never used LookOut, but having thousands of corporate emails in my Outlook, I can say that Xobni really rocks! I quickly ran out on private invites, and just started pirating the software to my coworkers, boss, and even the secretary,
