Introducing the Picwing Smart Frame (YC S08)

This is really cool. Can I ssh into it and load up my own programs to run on it or show an arbitrary web page?

As a true geek and photography hobbyist I wouldn't even think of using it for pictures (LCD, I bet, is terrible - even laptops don't come with decent LCDs anymore) but man... there is so much stuff I could use this for! From weather to error notifications from my production servers, delivered right to on top of my fireplace. Sweeeet.

So this isn't in production yet?

Well, it is running on Linux, so you could pretty much do whatever you want with it. But, we officially only allow running of flash programs that are built using our (loose) framework, so that it integrates nicely with our operating environment.

We did a limited production run, but are currently not producing them anymore so that we can concentrate on software development more.
