First of all, this review is for the COBY DP-758 ONLY. be forewarned, Amazon has this tendency lately to lump reviews for different products together, which makes finding accurate ones for what YOU are purchasing difficult at best! That being said, here’s my review: There’s nothing like the gift that keeps giving, and this thing is like Herpes…the pain never stops. I received it as a gift, and if you are thinking of buying it for someone, DON’T!! Just give ‘em cash, I beg of you. To begin with, it has no internal memory, so immediate purchase of an SD memory card is a must. Then you are limited to the old fasioned, slow SD card (SDHC not compatible) with a 2GB max. So if you have LOTS of pictures, as I do, you will need several, and have to interchage them at regular intervals. Ok, so you have your SD card and think you’re ready to go, right? WRONG!! They didn’t even include a connectivity cable to hook it up to your computer! The instructions (The marginally better downloaded PDF document by the way, not the crappy instructions included in the box) simply say to connect your computer using a USB 2.0 High-speed cable, which should be easy, but what you actually need is a USB male ‘A’ to male ‘A’ connector NOT an A/B extension or even A/A extension which has one female end. This cable thus far, seems to be made with unobtainium, ’cause it’s impossible to find. First, I went to Radio-Shack, Staples, Wal-Mart, Best Buy (the list goes on…) and nothing, zero, zip nada…there just isn’t any. Not even Belkin had one. Next, I tried online… but 2 tries later (even though the description sounded right) I have returned both, and had to pony up the return shipping to boot (more time and money wasted). Oh and forget about customer service, you are better off asking your pet, or maybe one of those fortune telling eight-balls. Consequently, I still have a picture frame that’s only good for a door-stop, and my limited options are; Build the cable myself and risk damaging my computer for this piece of crap, trash it altogether, or perhaps re-gift to someone I really, really don’t like.
