The iGala is a linux based photo frame that allows you to do more then just display pictures or movies. With it having a usable OS in there it allows you to do such things as log in to GMail accounts and work around it’s file system with ease.
ThinkGeek describe it as having a “brain inside it’s rectangular head” which looking at other photo frames is not far from the truth. The screen is high res at 800 x 600 pixels and the screen is also touch-screen making it easy to navigate around. The iGala photo frame is capable of automatically pulling pictures from your Flickr account by using it’s built in Wi-Fi connection. With it having a Linux OS in there is no real need to hook it up to a PC as it is already a compute in a frame.
