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: http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/digital-photo-frames/b425/
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 model name : ADSP-BF531 540(MHz CCLK) 108(MHz SCLK) stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 540.000/108.000 bogomips : 1073.15 Calibration : 536576000 loops cache size : 16 KB(L1 icache) 16 KB(L1 dcache-wt) 0 KB(L2 cache) dbank-A/B : cache/sram icache setup : 4 Sub-banks/4 Ways, 32 Lines/Way 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
