Better than you might think

BK from Canton, OH

It doesn't get any better than this - especially with the screen! It uses a new type of OLED screen that is viewable from ANY angle in almost any lighting! The quality is incredible on close-ups, it's just like looking at the real picture! Granted the far-away pictures don't look like much, but what can you expect on a 1.5" screen? Read more

Fun toy, be mindful of resolution

Colleen from Columbus, OH

I bought this as a birthday present for my boyfriend and he got a huge kick out of it. Since we're quite a distance apart, it's nice to have pictures handy. The viewer charges and loads pictures easily - the software does the image conversion for you. The only disadvantage is the resolution. Clear face shots work best with this device. Any distance on the image and you quickly lose detail. However, it's small and inexpensive which stand in its favor. I would buy this again. Read more

Not disappointed

Patrick from Phoenix, AZ

This device provides all the quality and performance I would have expected from a [$] digital keychain photo frame. The picture is indeed bright and the included software make loading your own images a breeze. Don't expect your images to look like the one in the ad however. The device resolution will display photos that are recognizable but lacking the clarity of the bigger brother frames. I am not disappointed by this fact and would consider gifting this product to any of my photo geek friends. I got my [$] worth. Read more

Spend your money on something else

poonwarrior from fl

I bought this for my girlfriend who is traveling overseas so she could have a portable reminder of home. I had no idea what I was in for...It all seemed great at first. Then I had to deal with the software. The software is pretty simple and seems to be alright at first glance, but it takes a lifetime to transfer photos, or if you cancel the software out and want to re-open it, you must spend time loading to see what pictures are already on it.After I had finally gotten all the pictures on there, about 30% of them had huge blurry lines in the middle of the photo. This is coming from a very nice Nikon camera, I call tech support, lady tells me that I should re-size them to 640x480. I re-size 20 photos which takes forever, do it all over and 6 still have lines in them. I was so fed up with it, I just left the stupid things, figuring my girlfriend would know what the picture was.Now that I have all the pictures on there, it's a nice little gadget, but I spent literally two hours getting th … Read more

My 2 Cents from Belgium

I got this keychain from my girlfriend's parents when they visited friends in Florida and they brought it back to Europe. I thought it looked (and still do) very cool, i've never seen someone else with a digital keychain! So the installation process went very smoothly,only a minute or so, and then i started charging it with the usb-cable and a battery symbol appeared which cleary indicates it is charging. (naturally it also comes with a charger, but since it's US spec, you can't use it in Europe as the electricity net is different) I showed it to a lot of people and they all thought it was a nice gadget to have... Untill now. A couple of days ago it didn't work anymore. I thought the battery was flat since i used it quite a few times and it was the first time i used it. I didn't get around to recharging it until today. So i plug it in the computer and it acknowledges that the device is plugged in, i can put new foto's on the device BUT it will not recharge. So here i am n … Read more
