Well it makes pretty good sense to me if it's a digital frame with album function. You can scroll pictures without buttons sticking out. It wouldn't look too much a picture frame with buttons on it. Then again I don't see the need for these, you still have to plug it in.
I agree- why aren't people making these battery operated? I have a phone that connects to wifi & I turn it on when I need it (all the time, of course). Why keep these things tethered w/ cords? Real photo frames don't need that.
Wait till color e-ink changes this world (or some variant of it): Picture of choice always on, no power use. Then flip to the next or another when you want change. I imagine everything in the home could be like this. We have tons of shots & posters we just can't put up- not enough wall space.
