 Best option for meJan 12, 2010
I've tried out at least 7 different digital frames, and this is my favorite. I like the fact that you can rotate the display to view portrait- or landscape-oriented images, and the device's user interface is intuitive and easy to use. The software that you load on your PC, to control the live stream, is also really easy to use, and has opened up a vast array of images from Flickr and Picasa that I can select by keyword or "interestingness". You can also enter a newsfeed URL, although when I do that for Flickr photostreams the photos seem to have much less resolution than if I use the Ipevo's built-in Flickr selections.
It would be good if this was available in a larger-screen version, although I like the 7-inch for my desk top. Picture quality is fine, comparable to any other frame I've tried.

 Disappointing wireless supportDec 16, 2009
I bought this frame so that I could use it to display pictures from an RSS feed. It does that - but only as long as you have the EyeStage software running on a computer in the same network. The frame itself just grabs streamed images from the PC - it doesn't do any RSS processing itself, so you can't use it standalone.

One of the better picture framesSep 24, 2009
There is a sea of picture frames out there and this is one of the better ones...Not only does it look cool but it has very good resolution for its size. It wireless capability and remote were pluses for me that I really wanted. Did I mention it works great with Mac? Some frames don't. The only real issue I had was there doesn't seem to be a way to have multiple photo albums, they all appear in one big MyGallery. You also cannot have some on the internal and some on the external. Oh and with a firmware update (it is expandable) you can shuffle the photos. My other complaints are minor: No ethernet jack (cannot use wireless at work and it can be slooow), no direct connect option. Also the internal memory is only 512MB. C'mon guys 2GB is $10 these days! All in all I highly recommend this frame.

This frame is fabulous!May 27, 2009
We replaced an early model Ceiva frame with the Ipevo, and couldn't be happier. The quality of the display is infinitely better, and the frame's styling is, in our opinon, the best in the business. We've loaded a Picasa album with hundreds of our favorite pictures, set the time per slide at 10 seconds, and have found ourselves watching, spellbound, as the photos wirelessly cycle through. Even though I'm not the brightest when it comes to technology, I found setup to be relatively easy, and had everything up and running within an hour. When I contacted Ipevo customer service by e-mail on a weekend to ask about a feature (transition effects) that didn't seem to be working, they responded within 20 minutes with assistance (Note: transition effects only work with Gallery...not Live). Although I was intially a bit hesitant to spend the money on this frame (I'm cheap as well as being technically challenged), I now consider it money very well spent.

great product!Apr 22, 2009
I'm an architect and I use this frame in my studio for slideshow display of my design work portfolio. The super crisp screen shows high quality images, and the look and feel is high end, exquisite and polished. Never thought anyone would come up with the design of a digital photo frame that actually looks and works professionally. highly recommended.
