Digital photo frames are over rated. They cost upwards of $50 for a decent sized one and draw electricity (although not too much). The upside is that you can display many pictures on one frame, it is space saving. But if you make a conscious effort, it is possible to maintain an $8 photo frame and 20 prints (around 20 cents each, good quality, totally worth around $4) very well indeed. So you end up saving around $38, and what's more, you can get more prints and put them in an album, or give your older prints away to people you know. Unless the price point of digital photo frames is below $20, they don't make good sense to buy. They're using a technology which is still developing. I agree completely.
