    西湖纪游

    水碧浮轻柳
    山叠隐行楼
    舟斜断桥意
    风静寒蛩愁
    应逞凭阑志
    何虑稻粱谋
    笙竹终有限
    皓首觅封侯

    Buggy Philips Digital Photo Display

    Below are my comments on Philips Photo Digital Display model 7FF1M4/37 to be published on Amazon:

    Buggy. Don't buy it.

    I bought one and got surprised that it didn't work well. After days of testing I found that I can only store up to 1023 photos in my memory stick. If I go beyond that limit, the frame goes blank at exactly the 8th photo when playing sequentially in slides mode. It also goes blank when playing randomly in slides mode, but then the timing of going blank is also random, and it is impossible to tell which photo triggers the bug.

    I found a workaround: when turning on the frame, switch it to thumbnail mode and switch it back to slides mode. Then everything goes smoothly. Or let me say so far so good. I am still doing more tests.

    I believe it is a software bug. I would like to see Philips releases a new firmware and fixes it. Hey Philips, I trusted you and your brand. Don't let me down again.

    (I use a 256M Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo with its Memory Stick adapter. I upgraded the firmware to 7FF1B207.)
