If it is anything like the 10.5" The only good thing that this frame has going for it(IMO)is the hi-res screen and usbhost support.

I have the 10.5" frame ($169)and it is ok for what it does.
The positives:
I can strap a USB HD on it and have a ton of pics/movies/mp3s for it to scroll through.
I can enjoy my high MP pics on a hi-res frame that isn't running some funky/wierd res(480x234, etc).
I can play with the pics. Flip 'em, zoom in, zoom out, rotate 'em till I get bored (5 mins later)
Now the negatives:
Like a previous post, the remote blows. Getting it to run slide show or navigating the menus is an daunting task.
The software on the frame is not the greatest either. My biggest gripe is that it only displays the pics in the order you have them on the mem stick/usb drive/internal mem. No shuffling orders here. It can only change the pic every 0,10,30 seconds whereas others have hourly/daily options.
Also you see the frames in the stores do the fancy transistions? This one has like 15 diferent transitions it can do. The problem is that it does it so fast it looks like the screen just blinks to the next pic.

Anywho, thats my take on it. I bought it for the woman, and she likes it so I have to say it is doing its job. ;)
Maybe they updated the software on the 15s to do more but I doubt it.
