As prices fall and services expand, digital frames are poised to become the new media hearthAs Alan Phillips' family gathers around the table in their kitchen's breakfast nook, they're greeted by a massive, 22-inch wall-mounted photo frame. But it's not displaying shots of the kids, or the latest trip to Orlando. This frame serves as a screen that broadcasts news headlines, box scores, and traffic snarls around Boston's Big Dig.
The frame picks up these feeds from FrameChannel.com, a sort of a YouTube for digital photo frames, owned by Frame Media, a startup run by Phillips. The service lets digital frame owners sign up for more than 300 types of content such as National Geographic nature shots, Garfield cartoons, and Bible quotes, delivered to subscribers' frames through wireless Internet connections.
