   I have been looking to do this….the local Target still has a few on the clearance rack. Do you have to do anything do get it to display the pictures from the card, apart from sliding the card in? From the few posts I’ve read, I can’t tell if you have to gain access to the device and modify code or not.

   If it just works when you put a card in, will it do a slideshow?

   Juicebox haxoring

   Here are some photos and dissections of the Juicebox, a cheap LCD device that can play music and photos. It’s based on uClinux, so there are a few projects currently underway to do some neat things with it. And here’s a tip- to put the Juicebox int…

   In regards to where i got them - I picked them up off of the linux-hacker board. i would suggest there or possibly goiing to ebay. i thin i saw a couple of juiceboxes+mp3 kits for 30 bucks. which isn’t too bad. granted it isn’t 15 bucks. but it isn’t the 50 bucks that target is apparently selling them for now.

   “Do you have to do anything do get it to display the pictures from the card, apart from sliding the card in?”

   All you have to do is convert the pictures to the format for the JuiceBox, and put them on the SD card. The Windows software included on with MP3 kit (that lets you use an SD card) converts images for you.

   “If it just works when you put a card in, will it do a slideshow?”

   All you have to do to get a slideshow is to hit play on the ’show all’ selection on the picture menu. Hit the * button before starting the slideshow, and you can adjust the amount of time each image is displayed. (1 second to 1 minute)

   You are supposed to buy the starter kit ($35-$45). It consists of an overpriced SD/MMC card to proprietary juicebox adapter. And software. Basically, the juicebox is ready to do everything you want it to. But, in an attempt to make more money, you’re locked out of features until you buy the kit (SCAM!). There is NO good reason they couldn’t just make them with SD/MMC ports. And there is no good reason for the juiceboxe’s inability to view JPG images without converting them to JBP (juice proprietary format). No good reason = money for mattel.
   The good news. The SD/MMC has already been hacked and image converting software is available for linux. So, don’t buy the kit. Save your money! It’s not necessary.

   I recently bought a Juicebox with the MP3 kit and software (just 10 euro…) But the CD does not work, so I can’t convert jpeg to jbp. Has anyone a copy of this CD for me?

    KB Toys is going to have the entire JuiceBox bundle, that includes the “MP3 Kit” and some carts, for $25 on black friday.

    I went to KB on Nov 23, and they already had the kits out. They are random colors, and random “versions” of the juicebox OS. You grab a white box, and don’t know which color, carts, etc you are getting. I didn’t want to get an expensive mp3 player for my 5 year old daughter. I’m pretty happy since I already had an extra 512 SD card to put music on…plus pictures for her. This (http://vugo.com), however, is what I really want for her one day when she gets a little bit older and this stuff is a little bit cheaper since it is not so proprietary. You can do your own AVI, MPG-1, ASF, and WMV. Also pix as BMP, TIF, JPG, GIF, and PNG.

    Nico Bouwman, Daniel Newman: I made a Windows converter program that’s available on my website. It’s slow, and only can handle BMP->JBP, and JBP->BMP, also the BMP files have to be resized to 240×160 BEFORE you open it with my program (otherwise it gets clipped).
