Pros: holds 56 pictures; long rechargeable battery life; close-up shots look good; easy-to-use software; includes AC adapter and USB cord for charging.
Cons: small screen, ONLY close-up shots look good; little too bulky for pocket.
For years now, a bottle opener and a LEGO® version of Steve Nash in a Dallas Mavericks uniform have dangled from my keys. Since I don't drink too many bottles anymore and Nash jumped to the Suns a few seasons ago, I think it's safe to say my keychains could use an update. Ready to take a small step into the future, I removed the Tao Digital Photo Keychain from the packaging.
The body of the keychain is a square black plastic housing with a 1.4-inch LCD screen (for people who want something a little fancier, Tao also offers silver and brushed metal versions). Included with the keychain are a USB cord, a foldout instruction booklet, a CD containing image transfer software and an AC adapter. The inclusion of the AC adapter is a nice extra that a lot of companies (e.g. Apple) don't include with items that can be charged through a computer.
Installing the image transfer software was a painless process that only took a few minutes. But, lookout MAC users, the software is for PCs only (MAC users have to download software from the Tao Web site). Though not the most impressive thing I've ever seen, the software is pretty intuitive and straightforward. It allows you to browse for pics saved on your computer, transfer them to a collection (where you can remove or reorder photos) and then save them to the keychain memory. The software also allows you to crop photos or adjust contrast and brightness. Just as Tao claims, I was able to fit 56 photos in the keychain memory.
Carrying around the keychain, I found it a little bulky. It's about half an inch thick, and tends to monopolize a pocket. A slimmer design would certainly be welcome. But the Tao is very easy to use and the battery didn't lose much charge after four days in action. Buttons on the top of the keychain allow you to flip forward and backward through photos, and tapping the power button turns on slideshow mode. When flipping through pictures manually, if there's no action for about a minute, the device will automatically shut off to preserve the battery (or after about 3 minutes in slideshow mode).
As for the picture quality, the keychain certainly won't awe anyone (colors are somewhat washed) - but, with such a small screen size, you can't really expect it to. Also because of the screen size, not all pictures work well with the Tao. In fact, most don't. Long shots or more abstract pictures (such as sunsets) can be nearly indecipherable. And even medium shots look pretty muddled. For example, I uploaded photos from a recent vacation, and, in a lot of full- and half-body shots, faces appear almost completely featureless. So, essentially, the only shots that really work well on the Tao Digital Photo Keychain are extreme close-ups (e.g., portrait style shots) - but those pics look just fine.
Ultimately, despite its flaws, the Tao Digital Photo Keychain is a novel little gadget that catches eyes and encourages casual photo sharing. And it's certainly more entertaining and aesthetically appealing than a rusty bottle opener or LEGO Nash.
