I have one, it comes with hookups for the TV and remote control, and accepts a standard USB cable to hook up to the computer. Considering it's about the price of a card reader anyway, the ability to use as a standalone TV viewer is a nice bonus.
$19.99

I just checked my manual, no information on this... (as a side note, you can do red-eye correction)
I got no card to test either and I only have USB1.1 here :lol:
Do windows warn you that your device can perform faster?
Edit: Just plugged it in, no Hi-Speed warning (get it with my USB stick)
But then, there's no card inserted...

I think it's USB1.1, which is why I sold the one I got, it's just slow
Not a bad product though, for the same price as a multi-card reader

I've got one of these. Yeah, the biggest weakness of this is how slow it is the first time you go through your photos (after it goes through your photos the first time it saves some data on each and so the next time it is much faster). If you're looking at photos of about 1 mb or greater (which just about all digicams these days save at), there will be a delay from one photo to the next (you'll just have to look at each photo longer than you may want to). Apart from that this is a really useful device and very convenient, comes with remote and everything. I don't use it as a card reader just a photo viewer attached permanently to my tv, it has a lot of functionality as a photo viewer.

Just bought one of these today...strictly to be used as a photo viewer. It seems to work very well. Saves having to use the camera to show pictures on the your TV. Pictures fade in several ways.
I think it's a good buy at $20.

FactoryDirect has a Boxing Week coupon to drop the price down to $14.99.
Ther reviews say it's USB1.1 : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=dazzle+tv+photo
Very useful for the camera noobs in the family :)
I just realized the specs don't list Memory Stick PRO as a supported flash card :( (MSPro). :cry:
Can anyone confirm?
