How can I program a digital frame?

Question

I am not sure if that is the right place for this question but I couldn't find any posts on that subject.

I want to upload my own program into a digital frame. Any ideas how to do it?

• Languages ?
• Interfaces ?
• API maybe?

I recommend turning your question on its head: don't ask "how can I upload my own code to my picture frame" but rather, "which picture frames most easily support uploading my own code?"

The Chumby is a platform designed from the start to serve as -- amongst other things -- a digital picture frame. It's also designed to be hackable.

• At a very high level, you can upload flash apps.
• At a low level, it runs linux and they have published the COMPLETE hardware and software specs and support an active developer forum
• "Insider info" direct from the hardware designer bunnie available at his blog
• Versions marketed for as low as $49
