As mobile internet users continue to expand, with Palm's apparent rebound in the works, continuing growing usage of the iphone/new bb, do you think the digital lifestyle will leverage bloggers/etc. against the mass media? Seems inevitable to me. No doubt Dave, you know the digital photo frames are becoming mainstream when not only does my uncle purchase one as a christmas gift but when it’s for my grandparents.

At least in terms of antennas... not sure, how many customers they actually have. (Xohm is lit up here in DC and in Philly, though not officially launched yet.) http://www.clearwire.com/store/service_areas.php Regarding WiMax, Clearwire+Xohm may not have a national footprint, but they’re making decent progress.

I've seen them in Target, Kinkos, Best Buy, etc for as low as maybe 40 bucks. The Best Buy had maybe a dozen models today (Kodak, HP, Insignia, Westinghouse, Sony, and some others), when we picked up two (for the grandmas). Some of the models, including the HP and one of the Kodaks, were sold out. Digital photo frames are definitely sold in mainstream locations.
