They are PORTABLE devices not designed to hang on the wall. Ideal when
visiting a friend that wants to see your holiday photos.
It's possible to mount a thin flat screen TV on the wall so it's just
a matter of time when electronic photos will be mounted on walls. You
would then have a choice of a slide show of photos or you could change
the mood of the room by electronically changing the photos on the
wall.
We are living in the technlogical age where anything is possible.
