Clever but lacks some expected features
By Sam Hill from Minneapolis, Minnesota on 11/16/2008
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design, Compact, Easy To Connect
Cons:
Lacks features
Best Uses:
Smaller Rooms
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a clever convergence of two different products that looks nice and frees-up some desk space. But it lacks features one expects in both.

The speakers sound fine at reasonable volume levels for an office or workspace. However there is no independant volume control and no inputs for peripheral devices. And most frustrating of all, even though the frames are sized for snapshots, you can't display most of them because the speakers won't stand sideways for landscape photos.

If you want to display your landscape-syle snapshots, you have to prop the speakers up on something behind them. In fact they're not very stable in any position and tend to topple over easily.
