Insignia Infocast review: Insignia Infocast

Insignia Infocast

The Infocast weaves Web apps, digital photos, and streaming audio and video into an affordable, tablet-esque superscreen.

With all its features, the Infocast isn't for the technologically timid. Its sheer size makes it awkward for use as an alarm clock.

It won't slice or dice, brew your coffee, or fetch your slippers, but the Insignia Infocast's ability to put news, music, photos, calendars, and social networks at your fingertips makes it a worthy addition to today's digitally-enabled home.

Well-designed user interface. Bright, responsive touch-screen. Can store up to 2GB of media. Intuitive, useful alarm clock. Strong integration of outside apps into menu system
