Product Description
Those old photo frames atop your dresser, desk, night stand and on your walls are vignettes of memories captured as prints in the era of film cameras. The digital-camera makes available a technology where photos don't have to be displayed as prints. They're displayed on screen, much like that of a TV set or a computer monitor. This frame uses LCD flat-panel technology and, at 2-1/4" deep, fits almost anywhere a standard frame would. The difference - this frame is not limited to display only 1 or a few pictures. A digital picture frame can display dozens (if not hundreds) of images off a digital-memory card.
Here's a dandy way to display all those digital photos you're accumulating. Display one or all (in slideshow mode) directly from an SD, MMC, xD, or CompactFlash memory card. It's a great way to view your favorites on a table or on a wall - just like a regular picture frame. Yet COBY DP102 adds a unique feature. It has built-in speakers so you can play MP3 and WMA music files from your memory cards. You can even create photo slideshows with music. The DP102 has a USB port that lets you play photos stored on digital media drives. Its LED backlit screen delivers bright images for viewing in almost any situation.
This is a perfect frame to give to your parents and grandparents. Let them see pictures of you all the time from a memory card you provide them. It has a dual-volt AC adapter for international capability. Plays Most MP4 and AVI Video Files from Digital Cameras Photo Slideshow with or without Music AV Output for play through with Home Theater Systems SD - MMC - xD - CF Card Slots Full-Size USB Port for use with Flash Memory Drives USB Port for Fast File Transfers Integrated Stereo Speakers Interchangeable Faceplate (Black or White) to match your decor Detachable Stand Table use or Wall Mountable
Customer Reviews:
Slightly goofy interface, but clean pictures
My siblings and I got this for our mom's birthday. We decided to be sneaky and preload it with pictures of the family before giving it to her, because really who gives a picture frame with the generic pictures in to their mom on her birthday? No one I know who doesn't want to hear about it until judgment day.
The frame itself looks just like the picture. What you don't see is the power cord you'll have to hide though. This take regular AC power from the wall outlet, no batteries. All of the connections, memory slots and USB connections are behind the larger frame. So with some work, the slots and power cord can be hidden from view.
I grabbed the manual and started trying to follow the instructions for adding new pictures to it. That's where my problems started. The instructions didn't seem to follow what the frame and my laptop were telling me. The screen was supposed to have some instructions to follow once the USB was plugged into the laptop. It didn't. It was stuck with a generic info screen that you couldn't navigate away from as directed.
Oh well. Thankfully, since it's a USB drive you can bypass the frame's directions and just drag and drop like you would any other USB drive. When hooked to a PC, you'll find a multitude of new 'drives' on your computer from the frame. These are the different card slots for extra memory. It comes with 128mb in the frame, so if you don't want to drop the money for an extra card, you'll be fine.
Once I narrowed down the internal drive for the frame, I delete the generic pictures and started putting on the ones I wanted, that was the easily part of the entire job. After putting all the pictures I wanted, I renamed the internal drive to make it easier to find later for my parents too.
From there, we started working to organize the pictures for a more random slide show when it was turned on (it has an on/off switch). It was frustrating to figure out how it read the pictures for the show and how it 'randomized' them. Basically we had to rename the picture files, then move them around in the internal drive and then we just told the frame to show them in order.
Mostly these are minor quibbles for me. The pictures looked just fine, the price range was affordable, the screen isn't too small and even my parents have figured out how to add new pictures.
Great gift
The style of the frame is what drew me to this product. Most digital frames just have the plain flat front, but this one was nicer. The images looked great on it as well. The only drawback was having to get the pictures the right dimensions, but that may be the case for all digital frames.
False/Deceptive Advertisement... 
I received this Coby DP-350 photo player item 6/25/2009. It was neatly packaged and as described. BUT "DID NOT" COME WITH THE BLACK LEATHER POUCH, shown in the pictures and descriptions, where ever you see this DP-350 advertised, including Amazon.
Clearly false advertising. This handsome leather pouch is one of the reasons I purchased this item. What the heck Coby?? Also I can not play music & view photos at the same time, a feature I would expect to be understood. Coby advertises both music & photo, but not one mentions that you can not view pictures with background music at the same time, even in any of their manuals, they completely duck this issue. Again, What the heck Coby?
good value for more than a digital picture frame 
other than a digital picture frame, it can also play mp3 and video file. the price can't be beat.
great deal just to return 
I purchased the dp702 frame for father's day. We fully loaded a Kodak 1gb SD card with about 450 pictures (with 75% capacity), it worked just fine and dandy. But, we wanted to add more pictures and recopied the pics onto an PNY optima 2gb SD card with good success now totalling 500 pics. That way, they could load more of their own pics on too, but when we plugged it in, we had no success. It wouldn't read the card at all. We reloaded the old card in and it no longer read it either. We are taking the frame back to exchange and hopefully, it will work. It looks like it's all about total number of pictures or memory inserted.
