Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-05  
non-technical users beware!
1)
Is there a wireless connection at the location you intend to use this device?
--if the answer is no, then this isn't the right device for you.
2)
Do you know what an RSS feed?
Do you use any of: MS Live Space, MySpace, Facebook, Webshots, Flickr?
Do you know the difference between a USB memory stick, a CF card and a SD/MMC/MS card?
Can you easily program a Tivo, DVR Device, DVD/VCR player?
-- if you answered no to more than one of the above then this probably isn't the device for you.
This unit requires far more technical competency than most possess. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-20
Simple to use, good pictures, short on memory
A fairly clean-looking 8"-diagonal screen in a white 11.5" diagonal frame. The photos look good, and setup is easy. The WiFi option is nicely done, with an internal web browser in the frame to simply setup and management.
Pros:
- 4:3 aspect ratio fits most photographs much better than most 16:9 aspect ratio frames (I suppose those a numerous because portable DVD players have made the display components cheap).
- 800x600 pixels (most frames are 640x400)
- Adequate contrast for viewing in bright light.
- Setup for WiFi is easy with the 7 buttons on the back and the on-screen keyboard for entering WEP keys.
- Once WiFi is setup, access the frame via a web-browser (a screen shows IP-based URL, login name and password). From there, you can cut and paste RSS feed URLs from which photos are downloaded. (Note that appropriate other magic will be required for web access outside the local network, since it's an IP-based URL.)
- Flash card slots for large capacity
- Time-based on-off and alarm settings.
Cons:
- Short on memory - 64M is ridiculously small - although since it pulls pictures across the WiFi, that isn't a huge issue.
- White frame is a bit bright - would prefer black or something less shiny.
- No wall hanging, although it's quite thin, so it should be possible to fashion something easy.
- Portrait images auto-rotated by the camera aren't upright on the display, although once processed by Lightroom or Picasa and exported the right thing happens
- A little costly.
A good solution for the parent's house - can point it to a specific Flickr collection and update that from round the world. | |
