IMHO compared to the eee they look _awful_. Looks like it would be top heavy 
having all the gubbins in the screen (given it _is_ an digital picture frame 
with a keyboard attached). I can't imagine it would be ergonomically 
pleasant to use on anything other than a flat table. Given it has a "brace" 
(as you'd get with a picture frame), and _all_ the weight is in the screen, 
I can't see it standing up on its own without that brace.

Also having the wired net connection come into the device half way up the 
screen just looks like a recipie for a strained connector resulting in rapid 
deterioration.   

Cheers,
Al.
