The HP DreamScreen is more than your average digital photoframe as it also connects with Facebook, lets you listen to Pandora radio, check the weather and more. Look at it as an interactive frame rather than a dull frame that shows slides of your last vacation.
Other features on the HP DreamScreen allow it to function as an alarm clock. It connects to your home network over a wireless connection so that sites such as Snapfish and Facebook can be used. Also, the wifi connection allows the frame to have images sent to and from your laptop or PC.
The screen measures 10.2″ or 13.3″ depending on which model you get and each of the screens are in a widescreen aspect ratio of 15:9. Each frame also has 2GB of built in memory of which 1.5GB is usable space. A remote control is also included to allow remote operation if needed/or if your lazy.
