D-Link 10" Wireless Internet Photo Frame... WHY?

[Planet]

"Snibit" LCD panels that sit upright on a table or shelf, or hang on the wall to display images—are a cool idea, and they’ve suddenly become a hot consumer item. But most are a pain to use.

They rarely have enough onboard memory to hold a reasonable selection of photos and the only way you can add pictures is by inserting a camera card or, in some cases, plugging in a USB drive.

Read the rest of the product review here (http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/reviews/article.php/3764981), then come back and post your comments... mine start like this... WHY would you want one of these!?!? :confused:

Same hear!!
I would have no use for one.
I did give the usb model with on board memory from naxa as a couple of xmas gifts last year.
They work ok but the res of some pictures was not so great, on the other hand for the price I can't complain.
I person loved the idea of using it to show all their vacation photos to friends.
For 250 bucks I'd hold off and get a cheap laptop with linux on it wifi 15" screen with resolution settings and off you go showing off photos.

The price is a turn off really. If its $40 bucks or lower then I might give it a thought.
