Instacube!!!

Instacube Is A Picture Frame That Shows Your Instagram Feed [VIDEO]

 

In what’s probably a logical evolution of those digital picture frames that have been around for a few years now, some folks have invented Instacube, a photo frame that displays your Instagram feed. Rather than actually loading photos onto the device like you would with current digital frames, you just log in to Instagram and it will stream your feed in real time.
It’s a well-designed device, running an Android operating system that allows you to do more than just look at photos. The LCD display is also a touchscreen, which lets you log into your Instagram account directly from the device, as well as like your friends’ photos or bypass ones you’d rather not see. Features like these, combined with built-in Wi-Fi, make it so you don’t have to connect the device to your iPhone or anything; you just give it an Internet connection and let it go. You can even wander around with it, since it has a built-in battery.
The design and the hardware both look top-notch, but for most people, it will come down to a question of whether you want to see your friends’ Instagram photos on a big screen in your living room. Pictures of food, followed later by blurry pictures of drunk people, won’t necessarily make for the best home decor. Maybe you’re into that sort of thing, though.
If you are, you can check out their Kickstarter project. They’ve got a whole month left to raise the money they need, and they’re well on their way already, so the Instacube is almost definitely set to become a real product.
