The LCD screen

1.5" LCD screen

Photo-bearing key fobs are great for keeping snaps of your nearest and dearest, er, near and dear. But gawping at the same photo every time you pull out your keys can be mighty tedious. Enter the Tao Digital Photo Keychain.

This ultra slim USB-friendly gizmo lets you drag and drop photos straight from your PC or Mac, displaying them on its 1.5” LCD screen. It’s a fantastic pressie for loved ones. Think of it as a post millennial version of the mix tape, only this time you’re loading up precious pictures, not cruddy Kajagoogoo tracks.

Fantastic keychain!

Fill it with baby pics for mum, pussycat pics for nan or Mrs Mangel off Neighbours pics for unemployed siblings. The possibilities are endless. And you can store up to 100 photos, toggle through favourites and even watch a slideshow, from ten seconds to three minutes. Brilliant!

The buttons on the back

Yes, you’ve probably got a pile of pics on your phone, and you’ve definitely got some on your camera, but it’s not the same as having them on this handy collision of tech and trinketry. After all, who can be bothered dragging a camera around to show off their latest photos? Besides, this dinky device allows you to switcheroo snaps to suit the scenario (and the loved one you happen to be meeting at the time).

You won’t have to worry about juice because an internal lithium battery automatically recharges the Tao via USB. And thanks to its idiot-proof software you can crop photos to fit the screen.

Too cool to spend all day stuffed in your pocket, the super-sleek Tao Digital Photo Keychain comes with a lanyard so you can hang it wherever you fancy (no giggling at the back). Unless you’re some kind of Luddite technophobe we honestly can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want one of these nifty little gizmos right now. So get ordering – it’s a snap!

visitor avatar Bought this for my dad for his birthday he now has 2 grandchildren so instead of pics in his wallet where no one can see them thought this would be genius and if he gets more he can easily add pics on to keep everyone close.

visitor avatar I had NO IDEA what to get my girlfriend for this christmas. . And then I saw this. It was out of stock when I ordered, and the dispatch date kept moving around, but Firebox kept in touch and provided the first class customer service they are renowned for =] The picture quality is excellent and pictures are as high quality as they appear on my digital camera screen. Battery life is excellent. The keychain has a menu on the back too! My girlfriend will love it, but if she doesn't, I'm having it! Thank you once again Firebox, you truly have saved christmas!

visitor avatar I've wanted a digital photo frame for ages, but they can be a bit pricey so never got around to getting one. Then I saw this, and thought it was a great idea - and a bargain at £9. 99! I ordered it late Saturday afternoon, and it arrived Tuesday morning. It was really easy to load the photos on - it only took about 10 minutes. One reason I love ordering from Firebox is because of the free sweets you get - I had Toothbrushes and Teeth this time, and it really took me back to my childhood! Thanks Firebox. :o).

visitor avatar I bought this keyring at 6pm and it arrived the following morning. It is fab. Was a bit disappointed when I found it was plastic, but it is brilliant. It is a gift for my daughter whom I am sure will love it :) The screen is crystal clear and it is soooo easy to add photos onto it. Just click on the one you want to add and it is done. Easy peasy! Thanks again Firebox for a fantastic gizmo. I am thinking that Christmas will be sorted this year :D.

visitor avatar Really disappointed. I bought this as an Xmas gift for my wife as it seemed a great idea and the reviews here on Firebox are very good. However, I was shocked at the picture quality once downloaded to the Tao. I put perfectly good pics onto this and they show as very fuzzy, distorted even. Really upset for my wife. I cant believe the reviews posted here, people saying the pics are crystal clear is not how I am seeing things. Maybe I got a dud device, I dont know. If you do decide to purchase, please do not raise your expectations too high. But at the end of the day I guess it only cost £13.

Firebox says: It sounds like unfortunately you have a faulty unit. Please email us and we will arrange for a replacement to be sent out to you.

visitor avatar The unit contains software for Mac as well as PC. It works just fine with a mac.
