Photo Frames

I have just been to my local electronics store and seen a Electronic Photo Frame and thought it would make a great external display for Media Portal.

Has this been done? ( i searched but couldn't find)

I think the idea would be excellent, but the problem is that I imagine these displays use proprietary signals and display methods, like a laptop screen does.

I doubt it would be possible without a tremendous amount of work, I'm afraid.

Just wondering........

Some of the Photo Frames like for example the Kodak EASYSHARE EX811 KODAK EASYSHARE EX811 Digital Picture Frame Features & Benefits

have the ability to receive photos over a wifi connection and show them immediatly on arrival at the picture frame.

This being the case, could you get Media Portal to send a Jpg to the Picture frame everytime the screen changes?
