I know that digital picture frames are becoming hot (especially now that their prices are dropping) but <em>seven</em> new picture frames? Way to create customer confusion. Going over the various models, most are similar in features and functionality, but it looks like there isn't a scale where it goes from "economy model" to "money is no object". Picture frames are fun, and they are also getting more sensible features like playback of audio and video, but I really wonder who Viewsonic is trying to target here. Most people will just want one frame that does it all for a reasonable price! Now if they can only start offering picture frames that come close to matching the extreme resolutions our digicams offer.</p>
