I can see something like this working nicely for them. . . and they'd love to see new images appearing automatically. Unfortunately, it's like inviting a new responsibility whereby you are obligated to take lots of pictures that your family wants to see. Otherwise, a wifi frame is worthless, right? One thing that weirds me out though. . . . Doesn't this type of technology invite family and loved ones to stare into the frame expectantly and (perhaps) obsessively, waiting for that next update? I'd fear turning my mom and dad into zombies that never leave the house because they're hoping their magic box will show them something new!
