#1 - Can anyone explain why I can buy a "proper" 10.1" tablet on Amazon cheaper than I can but a 10.1" digital photo frame? It just seems absolutely ridiculous. It's actually cheaper to buy a tablet to use as a photo frame than it is to buy a photo frame. :-?

Because Amazon believe it will lead you to buying more of their products because it is not compatable with other makes/apps. This is from peronal experience after buying one of their tablets some years ago.

I'm not talking about Amazon-branded kit though, I was just using them as an example of a retailer that sells both tablets and digital photo frames.
