Although this product seemed to work (the device comes with two pics that properly displayed) the included software didn't work. I tried it on a Windows XP, 2000 and Vista system and it wouldn't start on any of them. I went to their site and downloaded a newer version of the software. This time, at least, the software started up. However, once again, on all three Windows operating systems, it refused to recognize the device. A huge waste of time! I called their tech support and told them it didn't work. They said, "Hmmm, well it should..." What I don't understand is how they can sell a $20 item that almost certainly will entail a $25 tech support call. They're losing money on each sale!

I purchased two of these, but the software was not compatible with Windows XP (my operating system), even though the description says it is. I tried running it on two different computers and three different usb ports and the drive would not format. I called the manufacturer (Coby) and they said return it to Amazon.

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!

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)

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.
