eStarling Wi-Fi RSS Enabled LCD Frame

Finally somebody has made something I've been looking for a long time: The wifi/web-enabled LCD picture frame.

It's called the eStarling Wi-Fi Gmail / Flickr Enabled LCD Frame. Here's how it works:

  1. Hang the sucker in your house (needs to have WIFI)
  2. Using some software, configure it to
    • Receive email (strange as that may sound)
    • Receive an RSS newsfeed (Flickr, the photo album site, is a popular one)
  3. Then send it photos and, voila, it appears in the frame.

Pretty cool, huh?

The NetFlix of Video Games
