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. :)


You have never seen a device like this. Call it a toy, a clock, a picture frame or a web appliance, it is a combination of all of these.

Chumby is a compact device, an integration of several facilities, that displays useful and entertaining information from the web, such as news, music, weather, photos, celebrity gossip, webcams, sports scores. You can choose from a number of widgets offered in different categories. Interactive widgets can be used to take benefits of its touchscreen or motion sensor.

Chumby will connect to your wireless Internet router using Wi-Fi and fetch all types of content from the Web. Chumby is neither designed for web surfing nor for two-way communication like e-mail and instant messaging. It is all about an overblown Web 2.0 fascination with software widgets, open-source idealism, and building a new community around them.

Chumby is soft all around except for its touchscreen and a rear panel with a power button and ports for USB connections and the power cord. On top, there's a button hidden under the soft leather that you squeeze to control certain functions.
