 All it takes is a little patience... December 10, 2007

I'll admit that I was so frustrated with this product at one point that I almost sent it back. But in the end it was worth it...
The software cd that was included would not load on my IMB/ Windows XP laptop. The computer wouldn't even recognize that there was a disk in the drive. I had to go to cobyusa.com, where I was able to download the necessary drivers and program. The first THREE downloads were not successful, despite following the instructions carefully. Finally on the fourth try, the software was installed correctly and I was able to load my pictures onto the keychain.
It was quite a hassle getting this thing to work, but I'm glad I didn't give up! The screen is surprisingly clear and the design is very user friendly. I think it's a really neat little gadget for the price. I bought this to give as a gift, but I want one for myself now!

I bought this on another site. It crashed my computer. Do not use it if you have Windows XP !! Also it wouldn't turn off. This was disappointing since this was going to be the perfect gift for the grandparents. What a dud!

The software that comes with this item does not work on my Mac Book Pro. It crashes when you try to update the pictures on the device. I contacted Coby with the problem, but they failed to respond. Avoid this if you are a Mac user.

Bought this for my wife for Christmas and she thought it was cute and liked it. Now, only a month later, the blasted thing won't shut off and will not upload any new pictures. Sur it will let you delete as many as you want that are already stored on it... and though there should be room in the end... no dice... spend the extra bucks.. get something nicer.

I got one of these the other day and figured I'd have a heck of a time trying to figure it out...but I didn't. I plugged it into the laptop on the way home, and by the time I pulled into my driveway I was showing off photos!
I didn't expect the screen to be backlit at the price that I paid, so when I turned it on I was surprised! The images look clear and are in color. Wish the battery lasted longer, though. I'd really just love to leave this unit running constantly as an eye-catcher.
I know about screen scratches, so what I did was went to the dollar store (a while back) and bought some packaging tape. This is wide and clear. I cut a square of it and carefully laid it over the screen. Bingo! If it gets scratched, I just replace the tape!
What I like about this is that you can save different sets of photos. Christmas time, you can have Christmas photos, and so on. And it shows jpeg, bmp, and gif.
I got this because I was tired of powering up my laptop to show photos. This way, I just have to dig my keys out of my briefcase and push a button to turn on this nifty little gadget.
I was tickled. Everybody in the world should get one of these! :o)
