Great story, but he might not have been shot if he took his headphones off and was paying more attention to what was going on around him!

Philips Teams up with Flickr on Wi-Fi Photo Displays
In a revolutionary development for digital photo displays, Philips has teamed up with online photo community site Flickr to develop a WiFi-enabled digital photo frame. The frame, based on the very successful 9″ (9FF2M4) and 7″ (7FF1M4) models, has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities that enable photos to be uploaded for display remotely. Rumours are that the product will be launched in May at CeBIT Australia.
How does Flickr fit in? The Philips photo frame comes with a web-based admin tool that will allow users to subscribe to one or more Flickr Accounts or Sets – users and albums of photos posted online. These Users and Sets are then displayed via the photo frame, with updated Sets automatically downloaded for display. The frames will come with a standard 1GB flash memory, with expansion slots for additional storage space.
A source from Flickr said, “It’s great to see the capabilities of our site extend beyond the PC-savvy community. Imagine a kid giving a Philips digital photo frame to his Grandma, already pre-configured and subscribed to his photo site on Flickr. Not only will she see lots of photos of her grandson, but she will also see any new photos he uploads to Flickr. And Grandma doesn’t need to know how to use a computer, or even own one!”
Pricing has not been confirmed, but expectations are US$399 for the 9FF2M4/FL and US$349 for the 7FF1M4/FL models.
