On the plus side, the Sungale ID800WT Digital Picture Frame has many features. It has nice viewing angles and the colors appear smooth and vibrant. The touchscreen responds quickly and there are buttons on the back for quick access. Compared to many other picture frames that have keypads and joysticks that are full of glitches, this digital picture frame has fairly smooth and responsive buttons.

On the down side, the WiFi connection is shaky and slow, thus it can be frustrating. Only a part of the emails, news and weather reports is displayed because of the slow connection. The menus are not arranged insightfully, but rather appear to be a confused jumble and should have been better. The interfaces for some applications are also not as satisfying. For video playback, it only supports one format (AVI), and the playback is jittery.

The product is promising, but at this stage, you should only buy it if you only want a picture frame. For better online connectivity, it would be better to wait for another version.
