Comments on: Hack your digital picture frame, for a price

RedPost's "Sign Beta" frame is customizable but pricey at $599.

Agreed that it's expensive for a digital picture frame... but it's 19" vs. the 10" that you get with most frames in the $200-$300 range.

But, it's really a misnomer to call this thing a photo frame in the first place. It's a low-powered wireless hackable device that has more in common with your desktop than a photo frame. It's like a Chumby on steroids.
