Joyce, Inverness-shire quality above all else

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: good looking product, good size, it fits on my mantlepiece,
Bad points:: touch screen is a bit slow to react to my touch - there is a delay, this is annoying and fingerprints are left on the screen after using. The instruction manual is too limited with very little instructions. I am guessing a lot about what I can and cannot do on it i.e can I download my own music onto it?? Can I remove the clock which is in the way of the photo's?? It doesnt always get the photo's the right way round!!The music on it is hopeless and tinny in sound.

Good points:: quite nice object and beautiful image-quality resolution. The internet wireless aspect did not work for me which is the main reason I bought it. In the end the whole thing broke. I retuned it to Currys local although I bought it online. The store was good but only was able to refund the product not the postage. I had to contact Curry on line for that. In the end, Currys was very good service but the product is over designed and not in a finished state. Too bad cause it has potential

Good points:: Good menu system.
Bad points:: Settings up Wifi is not very logical.
When Wifi is ON, it needs to be able to STREAM pictures (with adequate buffer) from Flikr . At the moment its attempts to download them all from selected account, which is ridiculous, and will quickly fill your storage device. It would also be good to be able to select a Flikr SET/ALBUM rather than just all in account.
