The reviews linked to the following product:
Merkury Innovations MI-DF0152 1.5-Inch Digital Keychain (Pink)
are for some other, much more expensive and more functional
digital frame. I have flagged them as "inappropriate" to
bring this to the attention of the Amazon moderators to
see if they can straighten this out. I am also flagging
this review as inappropriate.

good photo quality. Slightly pixilated. easy to use. I had a little trouble at first, but that was more me trying to make it harder than it was. Holds lots of pictures. Easy to use your own scanner to scan in pictures to put on. Easy editing. A friend said it had better picture quality than a more expensive item that she had bought.

I picked up this frame for $250 at Fry's. The nice thing was, I could physically view the frame at the retailer before I bought it to judge the image quality (unlike the Digital Spectrum frames).
PROS:
- Very nice image quality. 1024x768, which is plenty for a 15" frame (I know, I was surprised, too!) Colors are vivid and sharp.
- Easy to connect to WiFi, including WEP security.
- Silent.
- Comes with included WiFi USB dongle! Pandigital will charge you $50 more for the same size frame, and another $30 for the USB WiFi dongle.
CONS:
- No brightness or contrast adjustment. This is minor since the picture visibility is excellent, even in a bright room.
- No timer to turn frame off/on automatically at night. This is huge, because after you turn the unit off, it does not restart showing pictures on power up. Instead, after powering on, you have to select the pictures to show from the main menu again.
- No shuffle option for image display sequence.
- The frame only checks for the file list of pictures ONCE every time it powers up. That means, if you add or delete or rearrange pictures on your computer or in a Picasa or Flickr album/folder, those changes won't take effect until you power cycle the frame again. And as stated above, after you power on and of the frame, you have to manually restart the display.
NOTES:
- When the frame uses WiFi to connect to your computer and Yahoo or Google, the pictures are essentially streamed to the display. The pictures are not downloaded to the frame via WiFi.
I'm going to probably take this back and get something else with more features.

I've been researching for a large digital frame that would work wirelessly and I'm glad I finally picked this one. This worked flawlessly out of the box. No setup problems at all. I first tried to wirelessly stream photos from my PC, but it really isn't a usable feature. The photos are too big to stream even on a high speed wireless network. But, the killer feature is using Google's Picaso to upload your photos to and then have the frame use Google's online site to stream your photos. This could not be any cooler or easier to use. I can now take this frame to trade shows and stream all my preset folders based on the type of trade show I am at. All I need is a wireless network. I highly recommend this product...in fact, I'm going to buy one for the house.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the wireless device placement on the frame. They could have hid the wireless device on the back of the frame...instead it sticks out the top. Not a big deal in the end in my opinion but a little more thought on the design would have made this product perfect.

so far so good, no trouble so far; it is very pretty and very large, i kind of wish i would have went with a 12 in. it is a bit large but my mom loves it
