[olug] Hacking a Toshiba PhotoFrame...

For Christmas my sisters and I bought a Toshiba PhotoFrame for my mother.
 It uses a third party service on the internet to pull in Facebook, Flicker,
and other photos we share from our accounts.    A couple weeks ago, we got
an e-mail from the company that they were no longer providing this service.
:-(

So, I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers to sites that might have hacked
similar devices to pull photos from a local system or directly from
Facebook?  (It says it supports Picasa, but I haven't confirmed if it will
pull from multiple Picasa albums...)

I think it might be running a stripped-down Linux kernel, but I may be
mistaken.

Thanks,
Dan
