10. Philips AJL308 Digital Clock and Photo Frame (7 inch)

Editors' rating: 6.5

The good: The Philips AJL308 is both a clock radio and a digital photo frame, and it's got a fairly sleek look to it. It plays back MP3 and WMA audio files, as well as MPEG4 and DivX video files from thumbdrives and SD/MMC memory cards. Some users may appreciate the included novelty alarms and "relaxation" sleep modes.

The bad: The image is low resolution, the sound is tinny, some of the user controls aren't as intuitive as they should be, images load slowly, and not all MPEG4 files are recognized.

The bottom line: Marrying a clock radio with a digital photo frame is an awesome concept, but the Philips AJL308 needs to be improved upon before it becomes the perfect union.
