Hello -
We're looking to find a nice digital photo frame to give to our grandparents, so they can see plenty of pics of their grandkids. :) I looked through the other posts here and found one about non-wireless frames, but didn't see one for wireless ones. Here's the feature set we have in mind:
1. size: 10-inch is probably ideal, up to 12-ish inches is okay, but probably not much smaller (remember, they're grandparents so their eyesight isn't so great anymore!)
2. adding photos: basically, i would like it so they have to do nothing at all. i'd like to be able to add photos to their frame and ideally also control removal of photos on their frame. i've read a bit about some frames supporting smugmug via rss or also a service called framechannel, which sound like they'd probably do what i need. ideally, i'd love to be able to just email photos to an address which would then get transferred automatically to their frame. alternatively, i'd be okay with managing a special smugmug gallery that has photos that would show up on their frame. any suggestions on how best to configure/manage this would be appreciated, as well.
3. resolution: seems like people think 800x600 is minimum for a 10-inch frame, so that's fine.
4. picture quality: overall, i'd like the screen quality to be quite good (decent viewing angle, bright, etc).
thanks in advance!
