Digital photo frame vs. portable computer

It is well known that the digital picture frame especially 7inch digital picture frame have a very good market in the past two years. Many people like 7inch digital picture frame with mp3, mp4 as well as internal memory flash functions, although there are also many people who claim that the present DPF have so little functions, what they need a DPF which can work like a computer.
