I need help finding a product...

Jun 14, 2010 4:46PM PDT

I'm looking for a dock that I could place in my kitchen. The main use would be for displaying photos, but I am also interested in side features such as Weather, Movie Showtimes, etc. I have NO idea what these products are called, but I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations? Thank You

Did you just say iPad?

If not that, there are some dozens of offerings like it that will be here by Christmas.

Ipad is too advanced for this use

Do you happen to know why category of product they fall under and if there are any sites that review them?

I've been to trade shows

And never saw such a reduced product. While you will find your photo frame when you put weather in there and movie showtimes you automatically move into something that needs a CPU, the user interface to set it all up and more.

There is an idea that the old CIEVA could do this if some tech geek hound was in your house but what a mess. The iPad would be my idea of an everyday solution without all the geek care and feeding.

Hope this helps,
Bob

(NT) It sounds like a TV with a dvd player to me.

Now there's an idea. Samsung HDTVs have WIDGETS.
