How do you hook up a Digital Photo Frame

[RyBoy]

I saw this on cnet and it looked like a very cool fathers day gift. However, I don't know exactly the best way one would hook this up. Cutting open the wall and finding a power source seems very difficult, but aren't photo frames supposed to be on the wall. Or, do most people just put it on their desk or something?

Finally, what photo frames do you guys know that are very good? Thanks.

This is a sort of gimmicky device. They are expensive, but basically are receivers that get imaging data by phone line or cable. Most sit on tables. This ad clarifies the function more:

These are pretty small - big ones really are expensive - about $700 for a 19-incher.

I don't have one, but have been looking. I think I'll pass forthe time being. A photo CD or DVD in a big TV is a more reasonable way to go, IMO.

I find them really good devices for technically inept people, especially the plug-in type with a memory card. You can load a cr@pload of resolution scaled images on a 512mb card (which go for next to nothing these days). Periodicially just mail the card to grandma or something, have them plug it in and that's it. Personally, I prefer something with a larger screen since those smaller ones can be hard to see from afar.
