    Hack Digital Frame ?

    Just received a digital frame as a freebie, this is the first time I use one and got bored of using it just to display pictures. Is there any way to use the display as a second monitor by hacking through the USB port of the memory card slot?

    i dare say something like that will be benchmarked in minutes per frame rather than frames per minute.

    possibly hacked to display some system stats maybe, but ifs going to be real slow about anything it does so moving images may not be a good idea ?

    Good point. How about using it for something like Itunes or Winamp interface?
