Customer reviews:
1. You cannot go wrong with this item!! I am an investigative person and was looking for the perfect digital picture frame to give my fiance as a gift. I read many reviews and it wasn’t until I read one that stated “Don’t waste your money on this (name of frame omitted), just buy the Phillips.” that I even considered the Phillips frames. Mainly this was because all the info I found on it did not mention that it had a card reader and most did not have any customer reviews. I did however find the same product but with out the additional colored frames, that had plenty of reviews to read. I included the link below if you would like to read those as well.
2. My dad’s a perfectionist, a techno geek, and a retired physician. He’s going to love this gift. Took me less than an hour to unpackage it, plug it in, install the software, find 50 photos to upload into it and repackage it for mailing to his home.
The control buttons are on the back. I thought “Oh, no. I’ll never remember what does what.” Well, talk about intelligent design! They’re not only sets of different sizes, but when you hold the frame to watch the menus on the front, the functions of the buttons on the back appear on the FRONT where the buttons that do those functions sit on the BACK.

Apple iPod nano – Like a before and after picture, this updated iPod nano sports a slimmer, more attractive, all-alluminum body; as well as a 1.5″ LCD thats 40% then before. But if you need brains with your beauty, then Apple has you covered there as well. You get a new, higher capacity battery that can playback up to 24 hours of music, or 5 hours of photo slideshows. The best part is, for about the same price of an older iPod nano, you’re getting twice the capacity!
Customer reviews:
1. My first reaction upon opening the box was astonishment at how small the Nano is! I had never seen one before. It is very slick. Itunes is pretty smart about letting me update the 8 GB Nano from the music library I had accumulated for my 20 GB iPod. It creates a special playlist for the Nano to define what songs are specifically downloaded to the smaller device. I had actually thought I would have to set up a completely new music library, and go through the tedium of reloading all those CDs.
2. While everything pointed me in the direction of the Nano, I wasn’t sure about the 8 vs 30 GB. What I did was to install iTunes, rip all of my CDs, all of them and make a backup on an external USB disk (even with the 80 GB iPod you still need to backup the data somewhere, as it is not a matter of if but when you’re going to loose something) and while it was more than 8 GB, I knew I didn’t want to listen to all of my songs. As a matter of fact, there are some albums I only care for a couple of songs. So I started rating my songs and putting in different play lists. Guess what, I didn’t even get close to 8 GB, not even if I double my collection.
This was the final answer I needed, I ordered the 8 GB model and WOW! It’s amazing. It’s my first iPod, I used many other MP3 players in the past but this is by far the best, most complete, most advanced, really outstanding sound-reproducing device I ever used. You can’t realize how small and handy it is until you have one in your hands (and you know it’s yours!).
