S'funny how these things go. LAST Christmas I was looking for a photo frame for my wife - couple of likely stores stocked one or two but had sold out, most of them didn't stock any at all.
One place that didn't stock any was Best Buy. The guy I spoke to there last year said they'd stocked them in the past but they hadn't sold many so they'd dropped them. I was in there two weeks ago and this Christmas they have an entire rack of them!
I agree with you - I think this is a gadget which hits the mainstream this Christmas.

A very interesting article which goes into the same direction as your view:

Is there any good digital photo frame like this one (or 7") with built-in wifi? I've only seen the samsung with these capability so far..

Thank you! That's a very nice setup, exactly what I was looking (especially the RSS feeds from flickr!).
Any advice on the aspect ratio? The higher end models share the same setup, but for the 8" one (4:3) there is a $50 premium amount. Is it worth?

These things are wasteful in an age where energy conservation is increasingly needed. Anyone else think of this?
Out with incandescent light bulbs, in with always on LCDs to display images? Capitalist logic at its finest.

I don't know -- What's the energy cost to create the resources needed to print a photo? Ink (produced and delivered), paper (produced and delivered), and printer power?
It's not always as cut and dry as one might think.

I was pondering the same thing. How much juice do these things suck down? and is there any chance they could be powered by solar or something? Perhaps in the form of a really fat frame with solar cells on it?!
I guess the ideal form for these frames would be colour e-ink. Perfect for reproducing the feel of a physical photograph and also only using power when the picture changes.
Guess it will be Christmas 2009/2010 before we see anything like that?

Perhaps Gore could move to a regular size house - the savings from that would prolly allow every US citizen to have a few of these on 24x7 for years.
