Fully customizable alarm clock. Can link with online applications. Every night before i go to bed i read the last of the engadget articles on my chumby and see which new roflcats are on icanhascheezburger.

Never had any problems. Terrific and open source.]]>Jul 31st 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Aug 1st 2008 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/

I think the Chumby idea is great, if you're a hacker, otherwise, I'd hope there's something a little simpler to use out there. Even my 90 year old grandmother can use a digital frame - if she wasn't so frugal that she unplugs it whenever we're not looking (it uses (wastes!) electricity, you know.) Get an alarm clock function in there and she could ditch the $9 alarm clock I picked out for her in 1979 and just use the frame.]]>Aug 3rd 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Aug 1st 2008 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/
I'm after something like the OP, but with FM radio and I don't need the photos part. :p Just want a nice large screen for showing the time instead of another one of those boring LCD clocks. :(]]>Jul 31st 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Owning one, I can't get over the crappy UI and the disability to set mp3s as alarms.
Also, it lacks RDS (which would be usefull here in Europe) and battery backup.]]>Aug 1st 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/
A firmware update fixed that. It's a pretty cool device, no where near as bad as some made it out to be- the picture is decent enough, and it's pretty cool to have an alarm clock with a 7" color LCD!

The only real problem with it is that the photo and alarm clock functions are completely separate- I won't go into the annoyances here, but it's kinda silly.

Then just buy a nice digital frame and place it beside your kick-ass alarm clock.]]>Jul 31st 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/]]>Jul 31st 2008 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Jul 31st 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Aug 2nd 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/Aug 1st 2008 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/]]>Jul 31st 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/ask-engadget-best-digiframe-alarm-clock-combo/
