Kodak W820, W1020 frames

Continuing a series of announcements, Kodak has uncovered two new digital photo frames, the W820 and W1020. The two measure 8 and 10 inches, and display images in a 16:9 aspect ratio, at an unspecified HD resolution. Their central feature however is Wi-Fi access, which lets users copy photos and videos directly from a computer, as well as stream from websites including Flickr and Kodak Gallery.

Kodak has also aligned itself with a service called FrameChannel, which provides access to more Internet content including news, weather, traffic information and sports scores. This and other functions are controlled through an illuminating, touch-sensitive border.

Each frame comes with 512MB of internal memory, but this can be expanded through two memory card slots (including at least one SD slot), or a USB flash drive. Music can be played by transferring MP3s to memory or connecting a portable player through an aux-in jack. The W820 and 1020 should both be released in August at an unknown price.

I have been waiting for a photo frame with better than 800x600 pix at 72 ppi. All the current frames look like c***.

I bought their current top of the line EX1011 wireless device, and Kodak clearly shows they are UI deficient, and VERY Windows-centric, as the wireless feature only works with Windows OR their "free" KodakGallery service [which is only free if you buy stuff from Kodak EVERY YEAR]. D-Link has just released a similar picture frame that probably works better with MacOSX.
