    I got a Pandigital 10.4″ frame for a gift last year. It’s 1024×768 resolution and pictures look awesome on it. It’s definitely my favorite out of 3 frames I have. I’m a little sad it doesn’t have WiFi (haven’t found a good affordable WiFi frame yet), but it just means every few months I download my Flickr favorites to the SD card and pop it back in. I’m curious about their newer models, looks like they’ve integrated a touchscreen and it’s even cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00187C19M

    My ultimate wish for a digital frame is one that pulls pictures wirelessly from an RSS feed without requiring any weird subscription services.
