Hi Sorry to hijack this thread but is there any digital frame hat allows for pictures to be shared across multiple screens (2x2 matrix displaying 1 image OR 1 image sliding across multiple screens? It seems such an obvious feature but I've not been able to find it. -- Kaizen28

I have a colleague who has a bluetooth-enabled digital photoframe, and he tells me that he is able to push pictures to that almost instantly... might be worth some research? -- SixedUp SixedUp's Profile:

I don't have such a frame, but my sister does. She says when you send photos to the email address, there is quite a delay before it is displayed. I don't know about the time frame if you are taking pictures directly from your computer. -- Kyle

The biggest problem I've seen with those photo frames is that most do not support having pictures pushed to them. Not only that, but there's usually very little pre-sales documentation on how frequently they will pull from the network. Nobody wants a Now Playing display that could be minutes

Just looking at ' wireless 'digital picture frames'' (http://www.estarling.com/) Struck me that it would be neat to be able to use one of these as a large 'now playing' display, so you could read it from across the room. Sure this wouldn't be too hard for someone who already knows how to do
