Digital Picture Frames

<p>Thinking about this as a present for DS - but there sure are a lot to chose from - anyone have any experiences good or bad with any of them?</p>

<p>there were LOTS of reports out last year about how many imported digital picture frames were infected with computer viruses- especially the ones made in China. I would be very careful if I were you.</p>

<p>How about spending a little more and getting a netbook? You can use it as a digital picture frame if desired but you can also use it for videoconferencing with your kids at school if they have video-equipped computer equipment. These run about $300.</p>

<p>I tested the videocam functionality at my sister’s and it worked just fine for videocons. It was the first time that I’ve used one.</p>

<p>Everyone in my office who has a digital picture frame lets it sit unused. I think it is a gimick I will pass by this year.</p>

<p>Here is a recent thread with thoughts</p>

<p>I had asked DH to get me a smallish (5x7) one for Christmas, so I could put it on my desk at work. But I don’t want my laptop, where all our photos are stored, to get a virus!</p>

<p>I also am now worried about getting a virus. The kids just gave one to my husband for his birthday, yet it sits unopened in the den.</p>

<p>Can anyone verify that these frames are prone to viruses? My husband would kill me if we infected his computer.</p>
