Every time a digital innovation comes out, the analogue lobby always defend the original with a “well, it will never be able to replace a key aspect, such as this…”. And then digital works out a way of fulfilling that need. For example, with digital downloads, many said people would still buy physical records for the cover artwork. So then the digital geeks incorporated the cover artwork into the download and hey presto, we now have cover flow navigation in our software.
I was reminded of this today, as over at Red Ferret I saw this magentic fridge-mounted digital photo frame. So now one of the qualities of analogue printed photographs (i.e. pinning them up on the fridge) can be done with digital as well – a great idea for all the proud parents (and grandparents). And it doesn’t have to be just photos – technically it should be able to display any digital image – so if junior’s been mucking around in MS Paint their work can be proudly displayed as well.

It’s nice but not as nice as the Parrot digital photo frames. They really are the mutts!
If you’re looking to have your photos printed, I found http://www.freedigitalphotoprints.co.uk to be extremely helpful.
