1 out of 5 stars Does not work on Macs. Poor documentation, support.   May 11, 2008
After an hour or two of struggling, I found what others have confirmed -- despite the box stating it works with Mac OSX, it does not work on OSX 10.5. Avoid like the plague if you own a Mac.

There's a reason Coby is cheap -- they skimp on the software and documentation.



1 out of 5 stars Awful software, won't even run!   May 10, 2008
I bought this for mother's day and cannot even get the software to load. And you MUST use their software to get pictures onto the keychain. I contacted their customer service and the site gave me errors every time I tried to send in a request for help. I installed their software on three different computers, each of which crashed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!


1 out of 5 stars How can people be fooled like this!?!?!   May 9, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I can't understand how COBY fool people with their cheap products. The worst quality you can find on the market. Their customer service is horrible. In my personal case the item arrived, it was a gift for my boss's wife, she told me "the item can't connect", i took the item for testing, like 3 different operating systems on five laptops, nothing, the item was impossible to connect, followed all sort of guides online and nothing. Making the story short, i smashed the item with a hammer, told the woman i lost it and offered a replacement, another type of item, jewelry. Everything went fine after that, just that i lost my few bucks. HATE YOU COBY.


4 out of 5 stars Product works, software does not!   May 9, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

After reading many mixed reviews, I decided to give this product a try. When I received the keychain, I installed the software and attempted to follow the directions with no luck. After a call to the manufacturer technicial support, I was told that the software which comes with the keychain does not work. I was directed to download a driver from the company's website, which after some additional directions worked fine.

The quality of the keychain is good for the size, and other than the difficulty of picture downloading I have no complaints. On the positive side, the customer service department was very helpful.



4 out of 5 stars If you cannot get photos to load - start here...   May 8, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I would have returned this item if it wasn't for some of the other reviews. So, just to reiterate - if you installed the software and cannot get the photos to load - here is what worked for me.

Uninstall the software.
Make sure the keychain is NOT plugged in
Go to Cobyusa.com - search DP-151
Download the Photo viewer software (it's the first choice under the picture of the keychain, do not use the individual drivers!)
Install software
Restart computer
Load all desired photos into a folder on your desktop (or somewhere else convenient)
Plug in keychain - put in update mode
Open photo viewer software
From software interface, open select photos to load onto keychain
Add photos onto keychain individually - FYI, they all get cropped and you can move the crop zone around and make it smaller, but not bigger
When done, click the multi-colored circle on top right corner to actually download the photos to the keychain - it will not say "download complete" it will just stop.
Ctrl-Q yourself out of there, unplug, and enjoy

Frustrating things:
-The software that came with the keychain did not work.
-You cannot drag and drop photos into the software - hence make it way, way, way easier on yourself and put all your desired photos in a temporary file (esp if you are like me and use iPhoto so your photos are stored by year, month, date... in sep files). iPhoto users CAN drag and drop from iPhoto into a new file (say your desktop) - so this is a BIG time saver
-Wide photos (lots of people) will be cropped square - so you run the risk of cutting off faces
-Some photos look stretched funny
-I spent two hours of my life that I cannot get back trying each of the drivers online at their "support pages" before going to the product page at Coby and pulling that software
-The silver clip/chain looks cheap compared to the rest of it

Pros:
-Blue is beautiful - really rich, shiny color
-Cheap
-Easy if you follow my instructions and don't even bother with theirs
-Photos actually look pretty good (better than I thought anyway)
-Software was very easy (except no drag drop, having to pull photos up individually)
-Can set it to slideshow with multiple timing options
-Has a clock that synced with my computer - can set it to turn off at a certain time!
-Rechargeable battery

Sorry this is so long - but it nearly had to go back - so hopefully this saves someone some frustration.
