 not as sleek as I expectedDec 11, 2008
By J. R.
"a good dad"
I just got this one and played for a couple of hours.
My general impression is that it just does the job.
It is my first experience to use a portable photo frame with affordable price and I think I expected too much from this device.
Pros :
1. cheap $20 bucks with shipping
2. it works ok.
Cons :
1. I missed it is 0.5 inch thick. I imagined it would be like ipod from the photo on the product page.
2. Color is not vivid. They must have used a low priced LCD.
3. Interface is not graphical. It has a menu of text. I felt like it is a Linux box.
4. Photo management software is not intuitive. I am ok, but I don't expect all people will figure out what to do easily.
Generally it is ok for low price. But if you expect apple-like quality, you may be disappointed.

Picture is very nice. My only issue with this device is that it only accepts .bmp files as pictures.

 Easy to use, buy poor LCD.Jul 29, 2009
By Julian Kanini
I bought this as a present and one for myself. While playing with that I noticed the following (that might help deciding to buy it or not)
Pros:
1. Its (relatively) easy to set it up and to upload photos to the device (in Windows XP), but software is not that intuitive and don't expect much from the manual. From the manual I noticed that the MAC software looks better.
2. It charges via USB cable from your computer. So no batteries are needed.
3. The device interface is not graphical, but its intuitive and really easy to use.
---------------
Cons:
1. I sort of expected it to be with poor LCD (from the comments), so Im just confirming that. Yes it has a poor LCD, pictures doesn't look as bright as in the product image, its faaaar from that.
2. It's thicker than it looks in the photo and the ring is made of plastic (like the rest of it). Your first impression is like you're carrying a toy.
3. Even though it called "Coby DP152BLK 1.5-Inch Cliphanger Key Chain Digital Photo Frame (Black)", it might be more suitable to hang it on a backpack, rather than with your keys.
4. It shuts down after some time. I really dont get this, is it a feature or a fault. I did the full charge of 4 hrs.
5. My "Next" button is hard to press, and I don't know if its just me.
---------------
Info (also consider these before buying):
1. The software crops your photos into a 1.5 inch square, but at least it doesn't stretch them down. Not suitable for wide photos.
2. Nice features like the clock and the calendar (I use a PDA for that, anyway). But what about when the device is turned off (which happens automatically)?
3. The photo looks ugly (that was my first impression) with the current photo information on it (like 3/60, in red), but it fades away after one second. I noticed when I set the Auto Slide Time = 30 seconds. Anyway you get used to it, cause it stays there just for 2 seconds.
4. Slide show animation is not consistent (sometimes pictures fades, sometimes slides away, some times dissolves with squares), but you can still live with that. :)))
5. Cant really tell if it's fully charged or not, but its not like you will need to know it.
4. Relatively cheap. (relatively)
-------------
All in all, it's interesting to have around, but if I could still choose, I wouldn't buy it. But that's just me.

 Software is NOT current. No Mac OS 10.6Aug 06, 2010
By S. Moulton
The product description states Mac OS 10.2 and higher, but this is incorrect. It only supports up to 10.5.2 as is stated during the install. I have 10.6, so there was no way this was going to work. I called support and they just kinda said, well, there is no new software and that they only have the original install, so I was told to return it.
This product description needs to be updated. No more Coby products, for sure.

Not Worth ItMay 23, 2009
By Kansas Vicki
I purchased 4 of these (3 as gifts) and only one person could get it to work - and that was with a big hassle, including having to use a different connection cable. I tried on my desktop computer and my laptop with the same results. Coby Troubleshooting personnel walked me through some gyrations for the one I kept and when nothing worked, told me to return the unit because it was defective. Instead, I gave it to a computer geek who is the one who tried the new cable and some other tricks and it finally worked. The idea is great and the look of the product is fine; they just don't work. The other 3 have been returned.
