 Horrible Horrible Horrible February 13, 2007

I've never ordered anything and been this disappointed. I ordered two of these and both didn't work. I contacted the company's tech support and they told me to send it back and they will replace it. I tried contacting Ritz Camera where I purchased the item and they refused to give me a refund. I am now stuck dealing with this company that has horrible customer support. I will never buy another product from this company again.
Poor picture, poor battery, dead after a month February 9, 2007

My wife got this for me for Christmas. I was thrilled and thought it was a great idea. I charged the device and transferred pictures to it. I work in technology, so I agree with many of the other reviewers that the software is terrible -- to delete any photos, you have to delete them from the device, not the software. Image quality is OK, but not good enough to be "sharing" with people. And after a few days of sorting through pictures and transferring and deleting them, it got a bit old.
Other than looking at it "straight-on", nobody on either side of you can see the image. It's back-lit, which is fine...but it doesn't help much.
Unfortunately, the battery didn't last all that long. The device refused to charge after about two months, and eventually it died altogether. The only way to make the unit work was to plug in the USB cable; the battery would not charge. So I contacted "support" and got a basic run-around, telling me that you "shouldn't charge the battery for more than 2-3 hours" at a time, and that I could request an RMA to return it for replacement. Warranty is no good, and it can't be returned.
I'm holding onto it because I'll probably take it apart and use the internal parts to build a desktop "photocube", so it can run off the USB cable.
But I agree with others that -- even if this worked longer than 2 months -- it's just a novelty that gets tedious quickly.
 Identical to device sold under the "Argus" brand January 16, 2007

This keychain photo viewer sold by a company called "Smartparts" is identical to one sold by "Argus." Neither company manufactures the device nor do they offer a shred of tech support. You buy this, you're on your own. You seem to be able to find the Argus one a little cheaper... though they do mar the front of it with a big, black imprint of their logo.
In any case, this thing is maybe worth $20 as a novelty. Don't pay more. Image quality is mediocre and the software, while functional, is stunningly primitive. If you can pick it up cheap and approach it with low expectations, it's a kind of cute gizmo. But don't give yourself agita by overpaying for an obsolete little toy. Check the bargain bins for this thing, or just wait for the next generation device.

Smatparts Digital Keychain does not last January 11, 2007
K. Gish
The battery does not hold up. After 10 months it would not work at all. I thought it was the battery. Emailed support and was told the battery is not replaceable. I found one and changed it out myself. The unit was just dead. Warranty is 60 days.
Will not buy another one.
 Good, but not great August 21, 2006

Delivers exactly what is promised but not a speck more. Once one figures it out, its very easy to use. However, the "user manual" is useless. Picture quality is mediocre. Good value, but don't epect too much.
