Is HP DreamScreen a tablet or photo frame?

,----[ Quote ]
| There are products which simply defy categorization. Take the 
| SmartQ 7. Its ARM chipset is a smartphone platform, yet its lack of 
| phone functions and choice of Ubuntu operating system ultimately 
| puts it in the Mobile Internet Device category. The HP DreamScreen 
| is one such device. Is it a souped-up photo frame with wireless 
| features, or a dumb-down tablet PC?
