There are a bunch of digital picture frames with wifi and various
services, but they are up around US$ 200+. Having evaluated a bunch of
these for work related stuff, one of the better ones is the iGala
frame sold through ThinkGeek:

The fun thing about that one, apart from having touch interface, is
that if you probe it a bit, you discover that BusyBox is installed and
listens on port 65534, leaving you access* to the internals of it:

root:/> cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : Analog Devices
cpu family      : 0x27a5000

dcache setup    : 1 Super-banks/4 Sub-banks/2 Ways, 64 Lines/Way
No Ways are locked
board name      : ADDS-BF533-STAMP
board memory    : 65536 kB (0x00000000 -> 0x04000000)
kernel memory   : 63476 kB (0x00002000 -> 0x03dff000)

There's libc, Lua enterpreter (which all client applets are written in
through nano-X) and you can write scripts - all in all a fun device to
hack. I'd reckon we'll soon see US$ 100 frames with similar features
based on Android.
