This is actually not a bad deal, at least compared to their 5-6" model. We bought one for Grandma a while ago and it was $350 for 3 years of service plus the device itself. Getting a 15 inch frame would of been nicer. (She loves it and would be lost updating a free version that required a memory card)
Now why doesn't some one come out with a cheap one for the do-it-yourself type person who doesn't need the subscription? A $150 LCD plus $100 in computer components (a memory card reader, etc.) should be more than enough to make a profit on it.
