Framemory Clock 1.5 inch Digital Photo Frame is also equipped with a 1MB/2MB flash and can hold up to 63/126pcs photos. You can access and browse the stored pictures any and from anywhere. A great way to allow your recipient to surround themselves with personal family photos easily on the road. iPod sized, this digital frame holds about 60 photos (depending on size and resolution.) Simply plug included 48" USB cord for easy drag and drop downloading of photos right onto the device. Can be left plug in or power by two AAA batteries, included, replaceable. Clock features a backlit alarm with snooze function and temperature. Great business desktop or travel gift.

Opening up the box reveals the unit with batteries already installed - no messing about required. There's three sample pictures already installed so you can see what it does straight away. To download your own photos you first need to install some (windows only) software. The software is relatively easy to use and does a good job of basically taking up to 70 photos you select from your hard disk or wherever, then scaling them automatically and downloading them to the unit. You can also delete and re-order photos.

So if you just want a continuous slideshow, just leave it plugged into the USB port of your computer - while its connected to USB it gets power via the USB cable, and does not turn off automatically.
