Re:Introducing the Picwing Smart Frame (YC S08) by Alex3917 on Saturday December 20, 2008 @08:32PM (#405056)
My grandfather is 90 and has parkinsons and I've been looking for something like this for him. He is still sharp, but he was never good with computers and lately he's pretty much lost whatever ability he had. The key thing I need is the ability to send him podcasts and videos of booktalks that queue up sequentially as if they were blog posts in an RSS feed. What I also need is the ability to check online to see if he's already viewed something, and if so the ability to get rid of it and add more stuff to his queue.

Try http://www.ceiva.com My grandma loves the frame! it only needs dialup and just cycles through the pictures all day. Youu can control which pictures are on tthe frame and it updates every night. she absolutely loves it.

EDIT: woops, I now see you want videos... the ceiva frame doesn't do videos or audio, just pics.
