 Never worked November 12, 2007

Sadly, you can't rate somthing ZERO (or I would've!) I was really looking forward to getting this item as a gift for my mom. I thought it would be great for her to carry around digital photos of the kids, grandkids, etc. Unfortunately, the unit NEVER WORKED. I tried to install the software provided (I followed the manual step-by-step) and my computer would not recognize the device. I went to Coby's website (as indicated in the troubleshooter protion of the owner's manual) but found no FAQs regarding this type of device. I did, however, find a software download for this model number, so downloaded that and installed it. My computer will STILL not recognize the device so I called tech support. A very unenthusiastic woman talked down to me for a few minutes before finally telling me that they "have a lot of customers calling with this complaint" and I should just return it and try a new one. She was basically NO help to me (and a bit rude with the patronizing tone). I'm returning it and don't think I'll bother with a new one. I'll find some other clever gift for mom. Thanks for nothing, Coby.

I bought this as a gift for my grandmother and planned on setting it up for her before giving it to her. I read some reviews, which were mixed. Seemed like PC users were having the most trouble. Since I use a Mac I thought I would give it a try (only $20, what do I have to lose...). First problem: I couldn't install the software on my macbook because the disk is 8cm vs. the standard 12cm and cannot be installed in a macbook. I moved to our other mac and was able to install the software. I hooked up the keychain and charged it for the recommended four hours. Then I set the time and checked out all the functions -- simple and looked easy enough for my grandmother to figure out. So far so good. I set the device to update and opened the software, after carefully reading all the instructions I picked out the photos and tried to upload them. Each time I pressed the upload button the software quit. I tried a different USB port, same thing. After several tries I packaged it back up and am taking it back tomorrow. What a frustrating waste of time!!

I read about not seeing the pictures clearly... they were right. For under $20 it's OK, though: you can have disposable fun, or give it as a gift, and that's OK. It's fun, it's original. But keep in mind: You won't get good pictures.
Not Compatible with OSX! November 8, 2007

The Amazon website said it supports OSX, so I bought it and it didn't work. I go to the Coby website and it only says that it is Windows supported. Now I have call Coby to verify and will have to probably do a return, UGH!!! -Eric
 Nice little portable photo album November 11, 2007

For its size, this photo keychain is well worth the price. The pictures are clear and the device says it can hold up to 60 pictures. (I currently have 30 on mine.)Some of the reviewers had problems with the CD, but I have Windows XP and had no problems.
My daughter recently got married and I have a two-year-old grandson, so with this device I'm able to carry around many pictures to show them off. I originally bought 4 and gave two away as gifts. I'm planning on ordering more for stocking stuffers.
