 Product short-commings not reflected in price August 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not stated anywhere in the manual - if you are using a USB flash card that has more than 2004 pictures, - some pictures will never be displayed. The frame will display only the first 2004 pictures.
ALSO the random shuffle mode is not really random at all, the same pictures will be cycled over and over like 1st, 5th, 8th, etc, but other pictures will never get displayed.
Customer technical support is rude (they do not even pretend to be polite and hang up on you if you ask questions tey do not know the answers to) and they are not knowledgable. I am an experienced computer engineer and my opinion is that this piece of electronics is not a quality product, however the price is quite high and does not reflect the short-commings.
 Puzzled August 17, 2008

Hi- I was very pleased with the reviews and the actual product when I received it. One of the main reasons I purchased this frame was because it was supposedly compatible with a Mac. I followed the directions for hooking up to the computer, but the computer never read it. I wanted to drag pictures onto a blank scan disk on the frame. I called customer support, but all they did was read the directions back to me. I then emailed Coby directly, and no one responded. I was very disappointed and had to send the frame back. I suppose it will work great if you have a PC, but it did not work with my Mac.
Couldn't get it to work August 16, 2008

I could not get this device to work with my computer. Coby's technical support said that it must be defective. I got a second one from Amazon and it had the same problem. Coby's technical support said that Amazon must have a bad batch.
 Coby 8 inch Digital Photo Frame August 10, 2008
I bought this digital picture frame for my mom and she really LOVES it! It is very easy to use, a perfect size, and has a clear picture. She really enjoys that you can switch the frame on the outside from gold to silver. It was a great gift, that she will have for a long time.
 too bad ... August 6, 2008

... badly flawed, I'm afraid.
Nice display and heft. But:
Direct USB connection freezes my Macs (PowerBook 12, and iMac 2008).
My PC with XP (both sp2 & sp3) sees an "unknown device" and finds no driver.
And, slideshow quits after maybe 100 photos, including many skips, although my card had 600+ photos. No quantity limit is specified in the booklet or advertisement. Tried loading the card from PC instead of Mac, but show still quits early. Tried breaking the show into multiple folders with sequential names; then it seemed to run longer, but skipped folders too.
Should accept various preloaded memory cards. But, 1GB Patriot brand SD card initially didn't seem to work in it (but was OK in the PC); a 256 MB CF card worked in it, but slideshow still terminates early.
Also the buttons are hidden, hard to distinguish.
Amazon kindly exchanged the first one for a like unit; I hoped it might work better, but no go.
Coby would require shipping to NY state on the customer's dollar both ways.
Breaking News - Coby tech support was polite, but did not have any answers. The Coby manual says "baseline JPEG files up to 32 million pixels and 14MB in size", but that apparently is untrue. After multiple experiments, I discovered success ONLY after using Windows XP's (right-click in Explorer) "resize pictures" function (to 800x600, replace) on the contents of photo folders while on the PC. Then, load all photos at once onto a freshly formatted memory card (to avoid fragmentation, which seems to change the play order) in a card reader. With this effort, all photos (in sequential folders) seemed to play correctly. Turns out, folders are not necessary for my 630 pictures.
COBY needs to tell it's customers of this resizing requirement, and also not to connect their Mac directly lest it latch up; and to provide PC drivers.
