Just got the Memento 70 as a gift about a week ago. After reading all of these comments I wondered if it was going to do the job.
I guess I have the latest or near latest firmware version so a lot of the issues have now gone away.
I did not read the start guide, I am a man, we don't do that sort of thing. I switched it on and it asked my region. Next it found my WiFi network first time. I then entered my network security key and I could then see the computers on my network. On my PCs the MediaPlayer popped up a window, all by itself to ask if I wanted to share media with the Memento 70. I said yes and could then navigate via the Memento 70 remote control to the folder that had the images in that I wanted to see in my slide show.
That was it, it works and works well.
I also registered on the www.momentolive.com and set-up a RSS feed for FREE. There does not seem to be any charge for the use of the Memento Live site anymore.
So, my conclution is buy it, £55.00 (UK price) ($110.00US) is a bargin.
I bought a momento 70 a few days ago (now mid july 2008). My momento has firmware version 1.3.1571.22 I think i saw posting about this version 1 year ago. Has someone already got a newer one ?
How about loading a self build firmware ? Are there projects (e.g. linux) on the net which can be downloaded into momento 70 ? Has someone found interesting test points inside momento 70 ?
Hi. Can you confirm that you got the RSS feed working? And that it still works.? My new Momento connects to wifi and Mom'Live site without problems, but nothing seems to come through (Flickr RSS or if I email an attached pic). TIA Phil
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Hi, did you ever get this working properly with a Flickr RSS feed?
Or any sort of feed from the internet ? (not from another pc on the network)
If so, I'd be very interested to know how.
TIA
