Pros: Bright screen, clock, alarm clock, timed operation (set start/stop time), reads multiple card formats, USB port, allows you to rotate images from landscape to portrait orientation
Cons: Poorly designed 'kickstand' won't allow use in portrait orientation, no auto-rotation of portrait images, rotated images are centered & cropped, no support for multiple albums of photos, klunky user interface, only one each start & stop time, oversized 'wall-wart' plug, no internal battery, lightweight plastic has no friction or weight to keep it in place
Details on the cons:
The kickstand that lets the frame stand up is surprisingly heavy; apparently there's a lot of metal in there. That's a good thing. However, the way it mounts into the back of the frame is not. You push it in straight on at the 6 o'clock position and then twist slightly to the right. It would make more sense to push it in at an off angle and then turn it to the 6 o'clock position. And there's very little friction to hold it

My criteria for a digital picture frame:
- Looks good
- Can be updated easily
- Can be used by my 90 year old grandmother, without help
This picture frame met those criteria.
It's got a 720x480 resolution, and the pictures are bright and clear. The 6.5" picture is more than enough for showing off memories even with only questionable eyesight.
Pictures are loaded onto memory cards, of which the frame supports multiple formats, and updating is as easy as replacing one $10 1GB memory card with another. (So you can update Grandma's collection whenever you see her, or send her a new card.)
Once you have the frame setup with the right refresh rates and turn the date/time indicator off, those values stick.
As a gift, Grandma attaches the power plug, and turns it on with the button on the side. Everything works.
The downsides:
The controls are screwy, and take a bit of getting used to. I wouldn't ask someone who doesn't like to fiddle to deal with them.
The clock resets itself--and
