SlashiPhone

If you’re about to fork some cash to buy one of those shiny digital photo frames, maybe it’s time to reconsider. If you own an iPhone (or iPod Touch), you can use it as a digital photo frame. Imagine a digital photo frame that’s always at your side.

Piet Jonas gives this wonderful tips, just go Settings, then General and change the Auto-Lock setting to Never.

That’s it. The backlight will not come off and will display whatever you want. For best result, put the iPhone on the dock.

The nice thing about using the iPhone as a photo frame is the built in internet connection. Means you are not restricted to your own photos on the phone but you can load and display content from the internet. Here are some ideas:

* Get photos from Picasa by running slideshows from Googles Mobile Picasa Webalbums

* Have a look around the world by watching webcams from WorldWatchr

Of course you aren’t restricted to photos at all:

* Display the latest news by running an RSS reader.

* Don’t miss new mails coming in.

* See world clocks from WorldClockr or countdowns from CountDownr.

So, if you want to buy iPhone AND digital photo frame, now you know which one to get.
