If you think Sonos is all about the Apple mp3 player experience, you've missed a lot. While this video focuses on expanding the Sonos market to Apple users, the product works with the rest of the Sonos system. Which, by the way, just works great.

Thanks guys, that is some great information. Through the wiki I found this PDF which answers a lot of questions.

Gee. Glad to see you guys are reading these comments. (not). Just to remind you of the questions we asked last time (plus a few extras):

What is the snooze interval? Is it configurable?
Does the clock dim at night?
Where is the snooze bar?
Is the alarm volume separate from the streaming volume?
How does the display show that the alarm is set?
Are there multiple alarms?
What does the display look like when it is just a clock?

Viability as a bedside clock radio depends a lot on how easy it is to set the alarm, the snooze interval and how easy it is to tell that the alarm is on. Please cover these in any write up.

Free is good.

You can buy an 8" touch screen laptop for under $239? Where? Heck, it isn't like you are going to find too many new laptops without a touch screen at that price. So, honestly, we are not talking a big premium for a turn key experience. I'm talking about screens in general, I have no idea if this one is any good.

Stas,

Interesting to compare experiences. I did find a bug in Frame Channel's web interface, but it was minor and they fixed it in less than a day. The limitations on feed sizes could be a problem for some, but didn't apply for me do I didn't notice them. That one Picasa album at a time thing is surprising. I just noticed that they've added a couple of new pre-configured sources in the last week, so maybe they can fix that. Send them a note.

I like that the DLink has a motion sensor to shut itself off. I think that would be easier than having to set a schedule on a timer. You said you had to login to Frame to reset something once it a while. What was that? I only ran mine for a week or two before boxing it up as a gift, so I didn't see anything that required a reset on the web site, but maybe I just didn't notice it.

Yes Dlink's frame will pull from network shares. I think you have to run Windows Media Player 11 as a uPnP service or something. I use RSS feeds.

And, yes to anyone paying attention, I keep mentioning the DLink because it does seem to offer most of the features people keep asking about. No, I don't own any stock in whoever owns Dlink.

Have you guys actually used any of these frames. Most of what you say makes this one "special" - Flikr link, email photos to frame, news, traffic and weather, are available on frames from about a dozen brands that use the Frame Channel service. The alarm clock is interesting, but who wants a touch screen? Fingerprints on a photo frame do not sound like a good idea to me. A simple remote is a better idea.

Loban-

I'm starting to feel like a fan boy here. Dlink will pull from local servers, although I think it wants windows media server, not a straight share. I didn't need that feature, so I didn't look at it too closely.
