With the holiday season fast approach, HANNspree's looking to exploit that need to get your ma and pa something special -- and by special, we mean completely predictable. To that end, it has introduced the 7-inch SD7021 (pictured) and 8-inch SD80M4MB widescreen digiframes. The former includes an auto-rotation feature, slideshow functionality, inbuilt calender, 3-in-1 memory card reader and 8MB of internal storage, while the latter arrives with three interchangeable faceplates (one shown after the break), a pair of frame stands, audio / video support, an alarm clock, remote, 6-in-1 multicard reader and 256MB of built-in storage space. Both units are up for grabs right now at $49.99 and $99.99 in order of mention.

Not only can Mr. Professional not use apostrophes or periods, he also doesn't know the difference between "here" and "hear." So, apparently he's sorry to "locate" these comments. Perhaps he needs a professional grammar book.

Bad news, Fuzo...you're still an idiot.

I'd explain but you still wouldn't get it. Better for you to look it up yourself. Word of the day: Homonym.

[FOREX @ Nov 24th 2008 4:20PM]

In the UK "hear" is spelled "here"... Yeah, I'm calling that foolish nonsense.

1. The Oxford English Dictionary does not include a definition of "here" as a verb, which it would if the spelling was interchangeable, but also...

2. The BBC spells "hear" in the context listening as "hear" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/news/2008/09/080908_english_spelling_wup_sl.shtml)

Now that we have established that "here" is not a verb and that one of the worlds most prestegious news agencies spells it correctly I am deeming your post: "Stuff and nonsense."

Colour me what you will.

actually Fusions right for once 'here' is a word in the UK maybe not in the USA but is in UK

[FOREX @ Nov 24th 2008 4:38PM]

Obviously, you cannot read.

First, an adverb is not a verb. (Check your professional grammar book)

Second, you should also have read the definitions, in your link. They clearly provide definitions of place or position, and no, an exclamation is still not a verb.

Third, the Oxford English Dictionary is not the same as the compact Oxford English Dictionary you linked to. The OED is 20 volumes that is one volume. Don't confuse the two.

[FOREX @ Nov 24th 2008 4:42PM]

@ Clak - "here" is a word in the US too. It has the same definition in both places but does not refer to the action of listening. Read your own definition.

@DooM - Yeah, we (I) know, he's a troll... but he's an amusing troll and stupider than your usual iLoyalist.

''Here'' is a UK word

The BBC's international with reporters from various country's so words will be differently

Mr. Professional Asswipe,


I am the lead director of managing all technology systems for the west coast and Texas branches of a well known nation-wide lawfirm. I am the number one contact for all things web, networking, software and hardware and I oversee a dozen offices with approximately 1000 machines total. To get into my certifications and qualifications is beyond the scope of the argument (and digital photo frames) and to do so would look akin to a stock ticker. I make approximately your post count in dollars per hour, and I am a year your junior.


As soon as you pull your professional head out of your professional ass, you might gain a little respect.

Isn't it ironic that Mr. Professional is just about the least professional person in terms of conduct here? A bit laughable, in fact.

Being a "professional" doesn't make you qualified to talk about any of these matters more than being a customer does, or an end user, or a manufacturer, or an engineer, or a lawyer, or a (see where I'm going here?).

In addition to which, Mr. Professional never really stated what he was a "professional" at! Pray tell, Mr. Professional? Considering that virtually *all* of your posts are lowest ranked, I think you've officially given phanbouy and clak a run for their money, and daresay beaten them.

[FOREX @ Nov 24th 2008 5:59PM]

@ highest rank & sharky

Can either of you provide a citation from a reputable source that defines "here" as a verb meaning to listen or to perceive with one's ear or some such definition? Like I said in an earlier post, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) does not define "here" as a verb. The OED is generally considered the authoritative tome of the English language and contains both US and UK spellings as well as the roots of the word.

[Fslade @ Nov 24th 2008 6:03PM]

Man, you need learn how to use these: "," and ".". They are very useful.

Also, since you're a "professional", it would be good to you to understand the difference between "hear" and "here".

Gosh. I wouldn't hire you.

More importantly, sanely priced.

When LCD TV companies find it a good gimmick to put card readers in their HD TVs.

[Wolfticket @ Nov 24th 2008 3:55PM]

@ joe23521
Their already sanely priced (unless by sanely priced you mean more expensive). $50 is hardly a lot to spend on a 7inch lcd display + plus the extra bits and bobs that make it show pics.

The problem is, they are universally crap.

I would spend quite a bit more for a frame with a decent resolution, colour reproduction and contrast that would actually make the most of my photos.
Full colour e-ink would be awesome.

[eddy @ Nov 24th 2008 3:17PM]

Actually, my mother-in-law really wants a digital picture frame so she can endlessly rotate pictures of her grandkids, so there is a point to 'em. Think of it as a photo screensaver without the computer.

I haven't done a huge, huge amount of research on these, but regarding features and pricing, these don't look like too bad a deal. I'm not familiar with HANNspree, but there's gotta be a reason Engadget's posting it.

[tom @ Nov 24th 2008 3:24PM]

HANNspree products are garbage. Engadget used to bash them big time. i.e.

just bought 4 of the lower end 7" hanspree. ok, worth the price i got them for. however (and this was not stated anywhere except in the manual after you buy and open it) they will not properly handle images over 5mp. so, for me it was faily simple fix, i ran an automator in os x and decreased all images i was uploading to 25% less and they worked after that. just try and check that out first before you buy.

[couchpundit @ Nov 24th 2008 4:24PM]

I'm loving the Fuzo-bashing.

When I read his comments, for some reason I hear a very stoned Jean-Claude Van Damm's voice.

Mr. Fusion Fuzo, Professional, if you're reading this, here's a few of tips:

1) Don't try to out-geek the geeks with your creds. Nobody here cares about a tech opinion that doesn't stand on it's own merit. An appeal to your own authority will surely attract a flame if not a low ranking.

2) Maybe try to use a handle that isn't so...er... pretentious and/or narcissistic.

3) Do not reply in indignation--it's like a bleeding fish's struggling that arouses the feeding frenzy on you. It's truly fugly.

I hope you find these tips helpful. I give only professional advice.

[MarbleMind @ Nov 24th 2008 4:33PM]
