Pros:
- Screen is nice, 4:3 ratio, photos look decent, if not great;
- Tech support (by mail) actually answers next day;
- Support WPA/WPA2 and even AES;
- Even plays back video files, nice features;
- Framechannel / Flikr / PicasaWeb support;

Cons:
- Fancy touch sensitive areas can not be seen once backlight times out, easy to press the wrong button accidentally, or just plain press a button when one tries to move the frame. Very annoying;
- Only 802.11b hardware, no support for 802.11g;
- No support for any other RSS source other than those above;
- No support for fixed IP, no wired Ethernet port - if you have troubles with the wireless, you are out of luck;
- Entering wireless key is quite slow/complex, definitely not for the faint-hearted. Although once entered, the unit will remember it even if you turn it off (good);
- Too many functionality means many layers of menus - again, not grandma friendly;
- Rebate was impossible to get;

Overall: Due to the invisible touch areas this is not really grandma friendly. As a standalone picture frame it works nice, but as a wireless frame watching feed(s) I run into troubles with it. Although that could be due to my (complex) home network, there is not much I can do about it. It either works for you or you can forget about it.
