Dealzmodo: 1.5-inch Digital Picture Frame Keychain for $20

41Rf6E8vUkL._AA280_.jpegThis Coby Keychain LCD is about 50% off at Amazon. It holds "62 photos" in undisclosed amounts of memory, but with a 1.5-inch screen, you're not talking more than postage-stamp-sized shots anyhow. Anyone ever try one of these? [Amazon]

  • pfft, how is anyone supposed to jerk off to a 1.5 inch screen?

    I'll stick to my PSP for pocket fornications for now.

  • hey... I just heard you can hack these to play a 3 second long divx movie....

    thats all I need, I guess I'm now sold.

  • I think this is pretty much the regular price at a lot of B&M stores. I know at K-Mart they had this item for that much and on sale for 14.99 for some weeks.

  • 20 bucks of Key Crap!

  • I've never seen this specific one in person, but Coby is an AWFUL brand. I used to work at a retail electronics store and we had Coby products being returned daily, usually from breaking.

  • Anyone who uses this doesn't know how to use their cell phone.

  • I actually got one of these, and Im re-gifting it, the one I got doesn't work with a Mac and to get it to work with Vista you basically have to hack it. There are pages of instructions on how "easy" it is, unless you have a mac or vista...

    Coby means no, B.

  • I bought three for my mom, and my inlaws for christmas. They are about what you'd expect for the price, although I bought them at "regular price" for $17....newegg has them for about that, and other amazon sellers as well.

    The quality isn't awesome, but its not too bad for what it is. 1.5 inches is a lot smaller than it sounds, but it's worked flawlessly on My Vista machine, without any "hacks"

    I wouldn't buy them for myself (no need) but for a grandparent wanting to show off grandkids - they are just great. The screen is actually pretty bright, albeit low res. The included software "converts" the pictures to the small size, and I think when I plugged it up, it showed 2 MB (yes, megabytes) of memory....I suppose for such small images, that's enough for 60...

  • I Think the best part of this crap is that give you mac os software to download from their website... it just doesn't work at all..

    like why bother to make a software package for the mac and that have it not work and act like it does?

  • I got one from secret santa...

    The one I got I think is from Sharper Image... display is pretty (OLED), but the software that comes with it is a joke and crashes every time on my Win XP every time it looks at a directory with more than about 100 pictures in it... it just terminates quietly & disappears from the task manager. Pathetic. Looking at the interface in the transfer software, it's clearly written with tools that went with Windows 98 or 3.1.

    The device sort of tries to register with Windows, but I can't even see it on my My Computer screen as an external storage device to manually transfer files.

    Junk. It's already in the "give away to small children as re-gift" pile.

  • Got it for $10 and put it in her stocking. Whoop level, meh.
