Digital picture frames?

[Biznatcho]

Are there any digital picture frames out there that don't require a subscription to some useless download service?

I know Kodak and Kensington offered one, but they appear to have been discontinued and only the subscription based Ceiva remains for sale.

Does it strike anyone else as ludicrous that everyone has a digital camera now but there isn't a decent digital frame for sale?

Umm seams like a waste of money, honestly just print the dang picture out and put it into a frame. I mean nearly every printer these days is photo-quality.

I just think its one of those "Hey this is cool" items that you play with for the first few days then forget about it.

Or why not just use your computer screen saver to display photos? That's nice too. XP Plus pack has a great picture screen saver. But, yeah, I hear you. I don't understand why on earth u would need some lame ass subscription either.

Digi-frames (but they cost an arm).

ai42, it's not wanting to see just one picture, but hundreds of pictures in a slideshow format.

Bobby, it was supposed to be a gift for my GF for use at work and home. Her office computer sounds like a POS and she often doesn't turn her computer on at home. Plus, I need to buy her something.

Sophia, one of those DF-560s is exactly what I want, but about 4x the amount of money I want to spend (the 560s are $400). I guess I shoulda got one of those non-networked Kodak Smart Frames when they were around.

Any other ideas?
