Digital Picture Fames

I’m sure most of us have gone through this train wreck before, but I couldn’t seem to find any buying guides or reviews more recent than March.

Last week we bought the InTouch from Giant digital picture frame. It was only 7″, but it had a touch screen that I was adamant for. Amazon had really good reviews on it and it seemed to be a top seller. The device arrived and ran VERY sluggish. Apparently that’s the way it’s supposed to run (Windows CE). It has a ton of features, but poor execution.

The biggest headache of the product was using the FrameChannel. Documentation was awful, customer support was non-existent (opened a case last Monday, still haven’t heard back), and it is poorly documented.

This evening we bought the HP DreamScreen from Best Buy and we are pretty pleased thus far. It uses the Snapfish service which is rock solid and fast. It has a remote to make simple tasks and setup much easier and the screen is a million times better than the InTouch one.
