Some digital picture frames do it all and I was almost quick to jump on a few. Some have included Webcams, combined with land lines to provide photo IDs, or have doubled as secondary computer displays. eStarling has taken a different tack: Rather than constantly updating its hardware, it adds new feeds to its 8-inch Wi-Fi frame. Already able to get streams from online photo services such as Flickr or Photobucket, the wireless frame has now added Facebook to its networked family.
This brings a whole new idea behind digital picture frames and I think it is going to be a winner, however, someone else might come up with, say a digital picture frame that is voice activated with GPS to display phone numbers, directions, reservations, etc. on command. I'm not sure if that is out there now, but I think it is a cool idea.
Anyway, once hooked up to your Facebook account, it will automatically display photos uploaded to the social network. You may want to shut it down when you have guest over though because some Facebook users are not particularly photo-friendly.

After extensive product testing of Kodak and competitor offerings, including eStarling, Which Frame? named eStarling one of the brands to avoid at this current time until overall product quality has been improved despite new Facebook features. Kodak will have this same feature and more with the launch of its new W series.
