KODAK PULSE Digital Frame Also Makes CES 2011 Appearance

Given the fact that users do require a digital photo frame in order to display the photos they've just taken using their new digital cameras, Kodak also unveiled at CES 2011 the next generation of its KODAK PULSE Digital Frame, that provides quick and easy access to a host of social networking services.

With the Wi-Fi enabled KODAK PULSE Digital Frame, users can easily create a custom email address to easily receive new pictures wirelessly from mobile phones, smartphones and any device with email capability.

The PULSE Frame also connects to FACEBOOK and KODAK Gallery albums so pictures are streamed to the frame automatically, while the device now also allows users to comment on the pictures one might receive from friends and family via the Quick Comment button on the touchscreen, that lets users communicate back to the picture sender directly from the frame and includes options like Such a KODAK MOMENT, LOL!, OMG!, Congrats! and Wish I were there!.

Available in 7-inch and 10-inch sizes, the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame also has a new built-in activity sensor that turns the frame on when the owner is nearby and conserves power when they're not.

Additionally, the digital photo frame enables users to rotate pictures on the screen with just a touch, while also letting them store up to 4000 pictures with 512 MB of internal memory.

“It's now even more fun to share pictures using your KODAK PULSE Digital Frame with new features like Quick Comment that give you a two-way connection to family and friends. Now, you can let your friends know what you think of the pictures they send you right away from your frame," said Phil Scott, Vice President of Marketing, Digital Capture and Devices, Kodak.

"With the enhanced sharing and social networking features of the PULSE Frame, Kodak is making it simple and fun to stay connected and celebrate and relive life's moments," added Mr. Scott.

The KODAK PULSE Digital Frame will be available in 7-inch for U.S. $129.95 and 10-inch for U.S. $199.95 in spring 2011.
