Comment on Not a happy iPhone 4 customer by Gareth

I think the not giving of bumpers is very deliberate because it would be admitting there is a serious hardware flaw. It would be a huge joke that the very carefully (and nicely) designed iPhone is unusuable without a rubber band around the outside.

No keep ranting, keep testing, keep pushing at them, I’m in complete agreement.

It’s beginning to look like a design flaw.

…
Presumably if i-mate went bust or pulled out of the photo frame market the momentolive.com site would cease to exist and most of the Wifi features of their frames would stop working.
…..

How prophetic – February 25, 2009 is the date.

Not only booleans – any parameter with wrong type will generate this error since the methos declaration does not exist

Totally agree; this frame sucks! I’ve just got one as a birthday present 3 days ago, and it has lost the memory of the remote 5 times. Currently it seems that the connection can not be restored – I have tried 10 times over the last hours – so I will return it in the shop tomorrow!

CONCLUSION: DONT’T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING A MOMENTO WIFI FRAME (UNLESS YOU REALLY ENJOY FRUSTRATIONS).

Jon:

You just need to find yourself one of the many hundreds of applications designed for making thumbnails of images. Not that I expect it to help much, unless you have a frame with an updated firmware or something.

I have one of these units and can confirm that browsing through digital camera images is slow. I haven’t tried this, but if you downscale all your images to the dimensions of the screen, I reckon it will zip along. The CPU in these devices will not be very powerful, but resampling a 5MP+ image does take quite a bit of processing power to do. Hence the speed! This will be a problem on all similar devices, I suspect.

I imagine it will be possible to do a “bulk convert” with a utility – ImageReady/Photoshop does this I seem to remember – but using a free, built-for-purpose application. I will have a look for one, someone must have developed one already…
