Customers Reviews  2010-03-21 Great bedside clock I bought the Dreamscreen not really knowing if I would like it or not as most of the reviews here are pretty
mixed. It was very easy for me to set up. I wish that there was a screen protector for it as I worry a bit
about it, I left the plastic on for month :) I am using this more as an alarm clock as it's main functionality.
I think that HP didn't plan on people using it much as an alarm clock as there is no snooze button. I use
the remote and it actually doesn't bother me at all. It's awesome to wake up to your own music and display
your own photo's as a slideshow. I don't really use the facebook option. I have used Pandora and it is a
great feature to be able to listen to internet radio.
It is very sleek and looks awesome on my nightstand. I paid the same amount for a Sony clock radio
that had several bad pixels, didn't work as well or look as good as Dream Screen.
Based on your needs, I think it is a beautiful device and I am positive the next one HP comes out with
will be awesome. A touch screen would make it awesome, next time around maybe? |  2010-03-20 Poor functionality I agree with the review of
Kevin Nicholls "jaded
Everything he listed in there is true.
When friends upload new pcitures to Snapfish, the dreamscreen does not get updated automatically; user needs to go back to main menu, touch a few buttons, to do so. Also is it not possible to have different transitions in the slideshow, or WORSE: you cannot desplay the slideshow in random order of over multiple folders. This is poor functionality.
Bought this for my mother so we I could easily share pictures with her, but the product needs to be interacted with too much.
Product requires a firmware update to achieve this mnimal functionality
Dino |  2010-02-20 Some limitations, but awesome for the right person Do you want a very nice looking digital picture frame? Then why spend $100 plus and get JUST that? Why not get a bunch of other "netpliance" apps along with it. Many people can go into more detail about the limitations of the Dreamscreen, and I did have my moments of cursing on setup (Facebook!) and the limits of some of the apps, and the apparent lack of multitasking and some dumb menu item designs. Audio is ok but not great (we fixed it with small pc speakers you can attach). Video WMV and AVI not supported ?!?! stupid. Got it. BUT, if you want a WiFi-based countertop screen that beautifully shows pictures you've loaded, or pictures OFF OF ANOTHER PC (with the Dreamscreen located anywhere in your house, and with no cable attachments), videos you've loaded, music you've loaded or run OFF OF ANOTHER PC (get the theme?), a silly clock or calendar or the weather outside, or listen to Pandora stations, or selected FM radio stations. And you want it to look nice and bright. And you don't want keyboard laying there. And you want it small enough yet big enough, a countertop picture frame. And you don't demand an instant countertop browser. And you want frame front controls or a long distance remote control. And you don't demand touchscreen. And you want all of that for $200 or less. Then come on, this is COOL. Get it even if you have a netbook or an iPhone or and iPad. Or...watch for it to evolve next year. But we got one and are happy with it. My wife wanted a digital pic frame. Almost the same price - we got all of this. I am listening to Coldplay playing from this PC, but in the kitchen, while it's cycling through pics from Christmas. About to switch to Car Talk. Come on, it's pretty cool. |  2010-02-05 Pretty good product. Easy to use and set up. My only complaint is that it doesn't really multitask. If you're on Pandora, and want to check the weather, it will stop pandora. The only thing it will allow you to do simultaneously is a slideshow. |  2010-02-05 my review Could be a lot better, does not have a battery I did not think about it but it would be so usefull. There are a lot of features on it that are not very friendly
Alarm clock, it will only turn on to the same song every morning no random play
Randomm play, is not random if you start it on a certain song, it will always play in the same order. Wish there was a way just to play all music instead of going through all your music to start.
Video, I found a lot of my .avi and .mpeg would not play on it.
if you have to change the volume from the screen you have to wait a bit for it to change off of that menu before you can do anything else otherwise you are always stuck in volume mode.
It does have awesome quality of the picture and the sound is very very nice.
You must connect it to your wifi router, you can not do a bridge to your laptop or network it must be to the router.
This being said I think if I Were to have the option to buy again I would wait for an updated version.
