Royal PF110 Digital Picture KeychainProduct Review: Royal PF110 Digital Picture Keychain ($49.99)

Overall: Among the three ultraportable photo frames (PF140, PF141, PF110), I think I like the Royal PF110 Digital Picture Keychain the best. It fits on your keychain, is extremely easy to use, the screen is bright, and the slideshow mode loads each image faster.

Features: 1.1" LCD screen, USB 1.1, auto shut-off after two minutes, keychain.


Package includes: Keychain unit, chain, charger, USB cable, and software.


How It Works: Install software. Then make sure the device is connected via USB before you begin the Photo Viewer application. All buttons are located on the right of the unit. The top button deletes the current photo; middle button operates next photo/delete all; bottom button operates power and slideshow. When I transferred photos to the PF110, it supported up to 56 photos.


Likes: Bright screen. Loads each image in slideshow mode faster than the PF140 and PF141. Good picture quality for something so small (better than PF140). Easiest to use out of all the models. Fits on your keychain. Ultraportable. Photo Viewer software easier to use than PhotoFrame 1.4.


Gripes: Makes loud noise when you turn the device on/off.

ME too Elizabeth! I got one as a gift and the software DOESN't install! There is NO web address to check on this and NO troubleshooting in the directions and NO reference to what WINDOWS it runs on ... NOTHING sold with a software Rom disk involved has ANY place on this earth if it doesn't include SOME reference to the tech end of it all. SHAME!

Installed software on PC no problem, but there were no directions that came in the packaging and I couldn't get the photos to upload.

Once device is connected, what are you supposed to do? I browsed to the folder where my pix are located, selected about 18 pix and pushed the arrow button to add the pic to the list. What happens next? Load? Save? or Syncronize? Neither one seemed to work, though when I Saved, there was a file called "download.bin" in the Photoviewer directory.

My experience with this is thumbs down.

I got the software dowloaded and got the pictures on mine, but can't figure out how to power it off.
