 Excellent frame with only average software November 19, 2007

I own a couple of these and a couple of (older + smaller) Phillips photo frames. The physical size and 800x600 resolution of this frame is very nice. It also comes with a small remote control but I've never used it.
The quality of the displayed images is very good. There's controls for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, etc so you can adjust the display to accurately display the photos.
My biggest and only complaint is the firmware which ought to be easy to fix. Here's a quick sample of what I mean and I'll compare this frame to the excellent software in the Phillips:
How long each photo is displayed:
Phillips: Anywhere from 2 seconds to 30 minutes.
Audiovox: 3, 5 or 8 seconds.
(Even at 8 seconds, this is too fast. I like 30-40 seconds per photo)
Order to display photos:
Phillips: Sequential or random
Audiovox: Sequential only
(I like random so you never know what photo will be shown next. Otherwise you tend to 'memorize' and know what's coming up next.)
Automatic shutdown:
Phillips: The frame can turn itself off at certain times
Audiovox: It's either on or off
(My Phillips turns itself off between 11PM and 7AM in the morning)
So I really like the images on this frame but the firmware drives me crazy. The options to cycle to the next image are only 3, 5 and 8 seconds which for all practical purposes is the same setting... FAST. How &#!^@ difficult is it to write software/firmware to let the person set a longer time?
This being said I'm still hoping that either Audiovox or someone will come up with updated firmware for this. I have seen absolutely ZERO evidence that this will happen but I keep checking anyway because these gripes are easily fixed. If they would only bother.

Display quality is pretty good and I like the alarm feature. But i'm a little upset with the compatibility of the external memory card. It took me a while to figure out that it had to be formatted in FAT. I can't connect it to my computer and spent a decent amount of time trying to find a driver for it and was unsuccessful. Other than that, I still haven't played around with connecting it to my camera.
For those who don't know much about computers and can not get the device to read/display the photos on your memory card, here is how you format it:
1.) MAKE A COPY OF THE PHOTOS ON THE MEMORY CARD IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE
2.) Right-click on the memory card [usually is called SD Memory Card (E:) or (F:) ] from "Explore" or a folder view.
3.) Select "Format ..."
4.) Under the "File System" Option, choose "FAT"
5.) !!THIS STEP WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE MEMOR CARD!!
click "Start"
hopefully I saved someone some frustration.

This is a low priced unit -- I was very disappointed with the quality of the display and the burn-in effect when you set the unit to the calander mode. Not recommended. There are better systems out there-this one is going back to the store

I returned this product. It is advertised with a resolution of 800x600, when in fact the resolution is 640x480. The item worked well, the interchangeable frame was nice, but I felt that it was overpriced with that lower resolution. I explained to Amazon's customer service that the specs on this item are incorrect, but it appears that they did not change the listing.
Amazon was very easy to work with in processing the return.
