O2 Joggler

O2 are ending support for it. I guess they will be selling the last
ones off cheap, if anyone wants one to tinker with.

I bought two some time ago.

The problem is that they need to be connected all the time to the
power supply, they came to market pre iPad/tablets, which clearly
makes them look like a brick now.

Still quite nice things, one can install Linux on them (Ubuntu I
think) and make them more useful.

From Wikipedia, I get the impression that these are essentially cheap
hackable digital photo frames?
