Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)


As the environment and the need to protect it becomes more main stream, the increase in eco-friendly products has exploded over the past few years. Green alternatives to standard products are becoming more and more common.

Solar Power Chargers

Solar Power technology is rapidly coming down in price and making it affordable to the masses. Many new solar powered devices are now flooding the market as cheaper alternatives than electrical plug-ins.

Countries like Spain, France, Australia and South Africa already use solar technology in many areas including street lighting and water tank heating.

Solar Powered Chargers can be found in many electrical stores and on websites as an alternative to mains powered chargers. There are a number of large reputable brands in the marketplace already who have developed universal portable solar chargers, which have many uses. Imagine the following scenarios:

So why would you buy one?

As an explorer, extreme sportsman or a tribesman you are unlikely to have a means to charge your mobile phone in case you need to call for help. You can be very isolated from civilisation and the emergency services that they provide, so the ability to keep your mobile phone charged as a lifeline is paramount. The solar power charger does exactly this and has helped many people around the world already.

Solar power chargers work particularly well for small devices, as the power needed is significantly less. So solar power can now be used as a direct replacement for rechargeable batteries. The solar panel means you'll never have to rely on the power grid to use your phone.

How does it work?

In an ideal world, you need a good 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the battery of your solar powered charger which you can then use it to charge your mobile phone each night. If you don't have direct sunlight, solar powered chargers will charge in cloudy conditions, but if it's cloudy expect it to take 24 to 48 hours for a charge. The internal battery can hold a charge for up to one year, so you could charge it once, throw it in a drawer and use it in an emergency to charge your phone which is more often than not when your mobile phone hasn't been charged and you need it most!

Generic solar powered chargers comes with a cable that uses a variety of tips for Nokia phones, Motorola and USB powered devices such as iPods and iPhones.

The biggest positive of a solar powered charger is cheap charging, you benefit from unlimited recharging of a variety of electronic devices for free. Solar powered chargers are also a cheap form of insurance against an emergency whilst doubling as a handy device anytime you might need some extra power.

In a era of wi-fi hotspots and hot desking a solar powered charger makes sense.
