50% satisfied
(3 out of 5) by Rafa Azofeifa on Nov 13, 2007 (Costa Rica)I read about not seeing the pictures clearly... they were right. For under $20 it's OK, though: you can have disposable fun, or give it as a gift, and that's OK. It's fun, it's original. But keep in mind: You won't get good pictures.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS XP!!!!
(1 out of 5) by S. J. Moseley on Nov 28, 2007I was so excited to purchase two of these for my parents, who are going to be first time grandparents soon. While the devices themselves seem to work OK in that they show the 2 sample pics, the software DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP. I wish I had read the "fine print" of all the customer reviews, because this seems to be a common problem.
While the 6Ave policy is to issue replacements only, I actually found a nice person in customer service (Ray) who agreed to give me a refund--I told him that I had tried both, and had read about this being an issue with others, so I didn't want replacements because it wasn't likely they'd work either.
It's unfortunate because this seems to be a good product. I see that not everyone has had this problem, so just be aware. It's embarassing for gifts you give not to work so just a word to the wise.
Perhaps soon Coby can get the software fixed so that it's compatible with Windows XP.

Not Compatible with OSX!
(1 out of 5) by Eric on Nov 8, 2007 (Boston, MA USA)The Amazon website said it supports OSX, so I bought it and it didn't work. I go to the Coby website and it only says that it is Windows supported. Now I have call Coby to verify and will have to probably do a return, UGH!!! -Eric

Software doesn't work
(1 out of 5) by bobodobo on Dec 2, 2007Hardware-wise, it seems to be a nifty little device with a bright, crisp screen. The Mac software installs and runs (on both PowerPC and Intel Macs) but as soon as you try to transfer pictures to the device the software crashes. The Windows software installs but when I try to run it, it either can't find the device or locks Windows up solid, to the point that Ctrl-Alt-Del won't recover it and the only option is to power off. Sure hope I can get a refund!
