I'd love a digital photo frame. But so far, I haven't seen any that come anywhere close to looking good, and the 800x600 resolution isn't exactly awe-inspiring. Plus, as much as I -want- to like Sony hardware, it's screwed me time and time again over the years.
Call me when it's 1024x768, or even better, 1280x1024. Modern SLRs take images at several thousandxthousand, and LCDs are cheap. Give me decent quality!
Oh, and have it wireless, with its own local website so I can easily add pictures from my computer, or even remotely from anywhere in the world. That'd be great for sending pictures to loved ones.
Just how much energy is wasted by these things displaying pictures to no-one 99% of the time? At least include a passive infra-red sensor so that the display is blanked (reducing it to unnecessary standby current) when no-one is around.

... for not going down the pointless widescreen route. Hopefully others will follow suit. Of course, may yet reflect in the price tag.
