Customer Review: Simply Stunning Image Quality
Having owned a couple of other brands of digital frames (Ceiva, Philips, and a particularly crummy one that I can’t remember the name of now), I can say that the photo quality on this frame is simply stunning (HD-like) in its clarity. I do real estate web design, so much of my time is spent editing photos on a 30-inch Apple Cinema display, so I am particularly critical when it comes to image quality. And I admittedly do run all my images through Photoshop, but I have to say that this frame blows away all the others I’ve seen over the years. Can’t comment on this frame’s durability, as I haven’t had it as long as some my others, but it appears to bear some craftsmanship…at least on the outside.
A couple of notes: one person mentioned the “blank images/placeholders/thumbnails.” This reflects the camera’s folder structure on the storage card. I’ve never had a digital camera that didn’t apply its own folder structure when the card is formatted and pics are subsequently written to the card. Thus, what is shown as a “blank image” is simply a folder that can’t be read by the frame, but that is necessary, nevertheless, for the camera’s functioning. There’s nothing wrong with the frame. The slideshow will still work fine this way–and will not “show” the blank images– but the slideshow photos will not loop.
How to fix the slideshow so it loops? Simply copy the pics to the _root directory_ of another storage card or flash drive (don’t delete the folder structure on your camera’s storage card, of course, as you’ll need it for your camera). Now, on your supplemental card, you will be rid of the “blank images,” and the slideshow will loop, as the target card is devoid of the camera-required folder structure.
Last, the slideshow transition duration can be set for a number of different user-defined intervals. Those intervals, however, are also affected by the size and optimization of the image files on the card. For example, if you have 10 100 kb files and set the duration to 5 seconds, the slideshow will play exactly as defined. If, however, you sandwich several 6 MB files in the middle of the 100 kb slideshow, your duration in going from a 100 kb file to a 6 MB pic in the sequence will take _more_ than 5 seconds…even if you have the duration set to 5 seconds. The frame is having to resample, and what would take 5 seconds going from pic 1 to 2 might now take 8 seconds, but the extra time is not glaring…or even particularly noticeable. This is no big deal at all for me, as the pics are so lifelike I hate to see one fade at all, but I thought I would mention it…just in case you plan to add some hefty 10 mb images and expect them to cycle every 5 seconds.

Coby MP-C886 MP3 Player with 1 GB Flash Memory, FM Radio & USB Drive Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C886 MP3 player lets you listen to your favorite tunes on the bus, at the park, and just about anywhere else. The device measures a mere 3.58 by 1.1 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D), with a removable end cap that reveals a direct USB plug for connecting to a computer (no cable required). More significantly, the MP-C886 offers 1 GB of integrated flash memory, so you can store roughly 16 hours of MP3 music or 32 hours of WMA music–more than enough for a marathon training run or a cross-country flight.

The mobile storage function is ideal for transporting business documents across the country or serving as an overflow backup for your digital camera’s memory card.
