 Carry Your Photos With You November 21, 2008

Long gone are the days where people carry photographs of their family, or friends in their wallet or purse. We're in a digital age where paper is becoming obsolete. Therefore I decided to give this digital photo frame key ring a try.
The 1.5" LCD colour screen has an image resolution of 128x128 pixels, offering high quality playback of photographs. The built in flash memory holds up to 70 photos (in reality I managed to store just under this). It has two modes of displaying photos - automatic slide or single photo view. It also supports photographs that are in BMP, JPG, PNG, or GIF file types. Software and a driver are included on a mini CD that allows you to transfer photographs over via the enclosed USB cable. The software is compatible with Windows XP and Vista. It also has a rechargeable battery build in, which charges through the USB port of your computer.
Using the Photo Frame was easy, so much so I didn't need the instructions provided. I then set about transferring photos across to the device which was fast and again easy. The software resizes the photographs to fit on the screen. It is designed as a key ring, and while it seems robust enough, personally I'm doubtful that it could last an onslaught of battering from neighbouring keys. Therefore I'll simply be putting mine in my pocket where it will be safe.
There are a few failings. My first gripe is with the battery. As I said above it charges through the USB port, but there is no way to tell when the battery is actually full, and even after keeping it hooked up to my computer for several hours, the battery died less than two days later. The photo frame is also quite slow to respond when your browsing few the photos or the menu system.
Cost wise, I think that this is a fantastic value for money item. It cost me only £9.99 and you can buy it from Amazon.co.uk for the same price.
Overall an interesting and useful item, especially for a gadget lover. Granted it's that let down by a few things, but nothing is perfect.
Great for carrying photos January 16, 2009

I bought this item so my father can boast about his ever increasing number of grandchildren - he loved it and as a complete technophobe even he managed to operate the simple menus etc. Really straight forward and easy to use - we also liked the recharging via a usb port rather than keep needing new batteries.
