What do I do with a digital phot frame

Hi I have been given a digital photo frame as a gift and I can't really see the point of it. I would be grateful for advice on what it can be used for other than being put away in a drawer. Thanks shrewdal

    Exactly the same thing that normal photo frames are used for. Do you keep them in drawers?

    :confused:

    Thanks for your response, however a normal photo frame doesn't have to be plugged in to a socket...shrewdal

    Put it on eBay? I'm sure someone will want it :)

    Doesn't alter the use of the thing though - what do you do with a photo frame? You stick photo(s) in it and look at them occasionally or add some colour to your walls etc.

    Same is true with the digital photo frame - except the picture's different every time you look at it.

    Don't have ours on a whole lot, but it's very nice when we do - you see photos you'd forgotten you'd taken, brings back memories etc.
  • Whatever you do, do it quickly. I've had mine in a box for a year and so it's a bit rubbish compared to the ones you can get now in terms of resolution, memory etc. So if you're going to ebay it or give it as a present, then do so sooner rather than later!
