Digi-Frame.com - the digital picture frames where you pop in your memory
card and it shows automatically... nice looking frames as well.

Ceiva.com - Connects via the Internet and downloads your pictures for you
daily. Seems inconvenient, I would prefer a Digi-Frame. With their system,
however, you can distribute photos to friends/family who have the Ceiva
picture frame as well (I think).

Kodak also makes a nice one that can be hooked up via phone line to their
site for downloads, ordering prints, etc.. It's on their site.
http://www.storybox.com/products/frames.html It also reads Compact flash
cards. Only problem is you must use up the 6 month free subscription before
they will supply the software to convert it to read CF cards exclusively.
Until then it has to dial in to the network at least once every 10 days or
it stops working.
http://www.buykensington.com also makes a couple of different resolution
units that you download picture to from your computer via USB port.

Digiframe can display the most pictures and uses Compact Flash or
Smartmedia. It is also the most expensive.

Kensington was selling the 12 picture model for $99 and uses USB.

Cevia needs a telephone line, a subscription fee and is limited on how many
pictures is can display. You must upload pictures to the Internet to
display them on the Cevia, though no Internet connection is necessary to
receive the pictures on the frame.

I have digiframe and find works great. I convert all of my pictures to
6t40x480 and the display is fast and looks good on its TFT screen.

Digiframe also makes a battery/AC operated model.

Good luck.

Are you talking about the IOmega FotoShow?
Or do they have a real picture frame, too, and I just missed it?
(I don't think I want to place a TV on my bookshelf)

When will these guys realize that we want local control of the
pictures that are displayed in the frame. I want to be able to
download the pictures I want from my computer with out subscribing to
or using their "Service". It is an unnescessary burden and severely
limits the desireability of their product.

These frames are expensive, as they contain the same kind of screen found in
premium latops. The companies are trying to find a "revenue stream" (read: a
way to make more money) to offset their investments.

My concern is what happens when the company/service/server goes down due to
the failure of the operation?
