 Skip October 6, 2008
Item never worked, had to be returned to Amazon, whom is still my favorite retailer, as for their easy return policy. Skip this, maybe it will work for you but mine never worked and I do not have the time to wait for another possible defected one to ship out.
 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.
 Great frame July 14, 2008

This frame exceeded my expectations. I had purchased two prior and returned them for poor quality and too small of picture - and I was apprehensive about purchasing one online - but this one is great. Good picture and the frames are very nice. Price was good too.

This frame took me about 5 minutes to set up. I love it. No problems - has been running non-stop for a month. I don't have the sound going. Nice item!
