 Chain did not hold up. February 21, 2008
Michael D. Young (Atlanta)
This item is only as good as the weakest link in the chain. It is meant to hang on your keychain after all.
The chain came apart shortly after being put on my wifes keys.
The picture viewer now lives in a drawer.
good idea, big dissapointment January 21, 2007

I worked for two hours trying to get this to function correctly. I tried to make the images as small as possbile so that they would display - nothing worked. Except the demo photos. Following the recommendation of the other post, I'm going to edit them in another photo editor.
It seems like quite a lot of work for the novelty.
Find something else to spend your money on. January 2, 2007

I got my keychain as a gift from my brother. It was new still in the box. He had not taken it out and played with it like some of the people that have writen reviews. I followed the instructions exactly. I did not have any problems using the software, other than it looks like it was writen by a five year old. The problem I have is that my keychain came with a bad battery. The only way to view the pictures is to plug it into a wall outlet. There is no way to replace the battery when it goes bad. I went to TAO's website and this looks like a common problem. Do they not test their products before shipping them? Who makes a digital product that runs on batteries, but makes it so that the batteries can not be replaced?
 Nice novelty item, if the price is right December 3, 2006

This is a nice novelty item, but don't expect too much from it. Steer clear unless Amazon lowers the price. I purchased a similar model from another online merchant for less than one quarter of Amazon's current price (the only difference appears to be the capacity -- 28 vs. 56 photos) and was happy enough that I ordered more as gifts. Unfortunately you do need to install the driver software on your computer. I don't know why they couldn't make the computer recognize it as an external storage device; perhaps it's because the device has so little memory that it uses a proprietary storage format (as well as, I assume, a proprietary image file format). The images are only 64 x 96 pixels, so you can easily resize images to that size on your computer to get an idea of the resolution that you can expect. (On my device -- I assume it's the same on this one -- the bottom few pixels are shaded darker to display the caption, so realistically it's only about 56 x 96 resolution.) I don't know about the color depth, but I suppose at that resolution it may not matter much. The contrast is reasonably good; the device is light and feels kind of cheaply made. I certainly wouldn't put it in a pocket or purse with keys jangling around. But it is a fun way to carry snapshots around, and it makes a nice novelty gift (though I'd suggest preloading it with photos in case the recipient doesn't want to bother installing the software).
 Bad Photo Quality October 26, 2006

Great idea but they have to come up with a way to make the picture look better on the screen. It does not matter what you do to the picture as far as editing it just wont come out looking crisp. Hopefully my husband will like it as I have bought it for him as a birthday gift. I guess he will just have to use some of his imagination when looking at the pictures of our son.
