 More techincal specs August 5, 2007

I looked all over the web for these specs (including the TAO site), so I am adding them here:
- Display is 128x128 pixels in 24 bit color
- USB interface is NOT a standard block file device (e.g. does not show up as a disk drive), but uses a proprietary interface, so you MUST use the included software, which is not available for Linux.
Also, if you think you should be able to fit a lot more than 30 128x128 pixel JPG images into 8MB, you would be right, but the software limits you to a fixed 30 pictures, which you can (re-)extract from the device as a entire batch (for re-use later) into a (seemingly proprietary) ".itc" file (which is actually 66 bytes of header followed by the images in 49,152-byte blocks (128 x 128 x 3byte color) in simple RGB bitmap format. Even if the device stores the images in the uncompressed bitmap format (which it probably does), it is using no more than 1.5MB of the "8MB internal memory" to store your pictures.
The casing is clearly not bulletproof, and the buttons to stick out from the edge (which would explain why they are "falling off"), and the software is poorly written (bluescreened on second use -- "Handy with a soldering iron, but a menace to society behind a keyboard") but includes a built-in rechargeable battery, charger, USB cable, and a surprisingly high-quality jewelery-type box, for which I paid <$40. I think if expectations keep in line with this nearly disposable price-point, I think this product will meet them.
I have not had any problems with the device itself (in the first 3 days), and it seems ok with a few keys on it, but can see where the design may have trouble in a high-stress environment embedded in a wad of keys, and a menagerie of other key fobs. I found the display to be adequately bright (I'm sure these are mass-produced cell-phone and digital camera displays, so you can use them for a rough idea)

Bought for my wife to show off pics of new grand daughter. Loading pics easy-great display of pics. The problem I had was very short viewing times between battery charging. On two occasions after a full charge for 30 min. and maybe total viewing time of 3-4 minutes over 5 days the unit had to be recharged. Returned unit to amazon with full refund without a problem.

I bought this for my mom as a Mother's Day gift and loaded pictures onto it. I was extremely surprised at the quality of the pictures/screen. I'm glad I ordered this newer model. The older Tao held more pictures, but from reading the reviews on it, I am guessing the quality of the pictures on this newer model is much better. The software is extremely simple to use and makes it very easy to crop photos for close up shots. I expected the keychain to be a bit bulky, but it's not too bad at all. I am very happy with this purchase, as I'm sure my mom will be, also.
 Great gift, great customer service! May 22, 2007

We bought this keychain for my mom (a new grandma) for mother's day and she loved it! The picture is very clear, the software easy to use, and loading was super simple.
A few days after she'd been using it one of the buttons broke-off. She called the company who shipped out a new one right away - and somebody even answered the phone when she called!
I would definitely recommend this as a fairly inexpensive gift for anyone who loves to show-off and hang-on to their photos.
 Broke in less than a week!! July 2, 2007

I was so excited to give this to my husband for Father's Day and he loved it. However, after only one day, the keychain part of it broke (the part that hooks). If that weren't bad enough, just a few short days later, you can't even turn it on anymore. It's been charged but still will not turn on. My husband has not dropped it or banged it around. He's only used it to drive back and forth to work on his car keychain (after rigging something up to make it stay on his keychain when that broke). Turned out to be a complete dud. Horrible, horrible quality. I'm in the process of trying to exchange or get money back from Amazon .... very disappointing.
