Joe, Regarding those digital picture frames... A few years back I bought something called "Showbox Photo Viewer" which allows one to put about 40 photos (4x6) in a single picture frame and rotate them mechanically. It is essentially the analog version of the digital picture frames we have discussed here. showbox.net Yesterday I said... This item should be priced at $79.99 and will sell like hotcakes. I would make the guts removable and sell the outer frame in maple, oak, cherry and every conceivable color of DuPont Corian. I think it would be nice to have a multipack of lower capacity CF. Say, a four-pack of 8 MB SanDisk CompactFlash cards so you could store your favorite photos on one card and mail it to Grandma and Grandpa to place in the digital picture frame. With JPEG compression I am certain you could get file sizes down to 50KB or less with acceptable resolution. Then every couple of months you send an updated card. Already Kodak ships its private labelled SanDisk "Picture Cards" in a standard CD jewel case with a foam rubber insert that holds upto 4 cards. I think you could sell a boatload of these four-packs using similar packaging for about $99.99 or so. This would help promote the "collectible" nature of the cards. I would even put a special label on the front of the CF cards to make them more visually appealing, similar to the "gig-o-color" marketing that Iomega has used to sell large multipacks of their Zip disks.
