When this Apple Tablet hits the market, I’m sure we’ll all be blown away as we always are with new Apple innovations. We don’t know for sure what it will be called (iSlate and iPad are the rumors), we don’t know what cool new features it will have but one thing we do know is that an internet connected screen like this will need something cool to run when its in “passive” mode. FrameChannel is the perfect screensaver app for this new device. It let’s you pick and choose the content that matters to you most, from your photos on your favorite photosharing sites and social networks and mix that with updates from your favorite news sources, blogs, RSS feeds, weather reports, sports scores and more. We can’t wait for this new device to launch as it should be a superb FrameChannel experience. Stay tuned, Apple has a big event in late January which could make for a very Happy New Year for all of us.

The Roku device, available online at www.roku.com for $79-$129 is one of the best buys this holiday season. It lets you stream movies and TV shows instantly from Netflix and Amazon but now with the FrameChannel integration you can turn your big screen TV into a giant information appliance showing pictures from Facebook, Photobucket, Picasa, etc. along with 1000+ channels of content including news, weather, sports scores, stock quotes, RSS feeds and more.
I’ll be giving a Roku this year for sure and at this price, its one of the best items out there this holiday season now that it runs FrameChannel
