I don't know the Jessops, but Sony, Kodak and Philips all work with Macs just fine, and I'm guessing the Jessops will too. All the ones I've used just appear like an external drive in both Windows and Macs in just the same way. It's a very obvious and standard thing to do, so I don't see why Jessops would do it any differently. In any case, I assume the Jessops can read certain types of memory card, and the Mac will write to those, so even if you can't connect directly, you could just write to a card and pop it in the frame. I seriously doubt you'll have a problem. 🙂
Got a tip for us?

I have the Sony DPF-V900 9", which works very well, looks nice and the image quality is really good. They also make a 7" model.
I have that one too. Apart from the random picture mode not being very random, I agree it's very good. They also now do a 10" version.
Mustek 7"
I bought a Mustek 7" digital picture frame from their website. A PF-A720BM for about $50 dollars.

It is a basic unit but has the look of a picture frame from a department store so it fit ok on top of my tv.
I also like this because the picture format is correct and does not strtch my images from my cannon digital camera.

Oh I forgot to update this post 😀.
I ended up buying the Sony DPF-D80. Why did I choose this device?
A necessary feature was that it could go through the pics randomly. Surprisingly, many frames do not support this feature!
Also, it uses a 4x6 aspect ratio. This is good because most of my photos are 4x6 ratio.
It's a bit pricier than off brand 8" photo frames, but it really is great! It also has a timer so I can have it turn itself off between 11PM and 630AM. 😀
The screen looks very classy and the pictures really "pop" on it. I'm quite happy with the purchase!

I have given my parents in Germany a Kodak PULSE frame. We'll have to see, how well that works. But, for me, the key in selecting it was that I can remotely update the photos. Unfortunately, with the PULSE, I can neither connect to the frame directly in any way, or, in turn, have it connect to a picture source of my choosing. Everything goes through a Kodak-hosted site. Who knows how many years they're willing to keep it running.
