Enjoy fresh photos on your frame automatically
Receiving new pictures from friends and family on a digital frame would be really cool, especially if new pictures just magically appeared, and that’s exactly what happens when you choose the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame. Just connect the Wi-Fi enabled KODAK PULSE Digital Frame to your wireless network; create an online account and unique email address for PULSE at www.kodakpulse.com (that’s as easy as creating a hotmail account); and your PULSE frame is ready to automatically receive a steady stream of new pictures from everyone in your life. You won’t be slowed down with time-consuming software set-ups or complicated technology, and your photo collection will automatically be kept up-to-date.
Adding your pictures to PULSE is a snap. Pictures will appear on your frame as soon as they are posted on friends and families FACEBOOK and KODAK Gallery accounts online, and if you share your frame’s unique mail address, pictures can also be received via email from a PC. You can even receive pictures emailed from friends mobile phones when they are out and about, so you see the pictures within minutes wherever they are. It's like receiving an unexpected gift every time you touch “Play Now” on the touch screen when you receive notice that new pictures have automatically been sent to your PULSE frame and are ready for viewing. It’s that simple.
Your pictures will look fantastic thanks to the high quality. The PULSE frame features a 10in. (25.4cm) high-quality TFT active matrix LCD display (800 x 600 pixels) with KODAK Color Science technology for vibrant colours and sharp details plus LED backlight for more uniform lighting, higher contrast, and Mercury-free displays.
The KODAK PULSE Digital Frame is not only easy to setup, its also easy on the environment. It’s ENERGY STAR® qualified for efficient power consumption, the LCD panel is Mercury-free, and there is a programmable timer that can be set to automatically power PULSE On/Off at your preferred times.

Easy set up in just 3 steps:
Just 3 steps to hassle-free pictures - there’s no software to install, making setup easier than ever.
- Connect the PULSE frame to your wireless network: Just power on the frame and follow the prompts on the touch screen.
- Activate your PULSE frame: Go to www.kodakpulse.com and create an online account (that’s as easy as creating a hotmail account - enter name, email address, and password); enter the frame’s 12-character code that appears on the frame’s touch screen display. The code is also printed on the package so you can activate the frame without even opening the box - a great gift giving feature - and multiple PULSE frames can be managed from a single kodakpulse account if you’d like to keep the whole family connected.
- Add pictures to your PULSE frame: You can add pictures from your computer, online KODAK Gallery and FACEBOOK accounts, and by creating a unique kodakpulse.com email address for the PULSE frame, friends and family can email pictures directly to the frame - even from mobile phones. Setup email addresses and links to your friends’ FACEBOOK accounts simply by following the easy step-by-step prompts on your account at www.kodakpulse.com. You can also copy pictures into PULSE’s 512 MB of internal memory the “old way” - from a memory card or USB device. There’s enough internal storage for approximately 4,000 pictures (based on picture content) optimally resized for viewing on the frame’s high quality display.
Once the 3-step setup is complete, PULSE will automatically alert you when you receive new pictures from friends and family, and you’ll automatically receive updates to photo albums on FACEBOOK and KODAK Gallery sites, so you’ll see new pictures on your frame as soon as they’re posted.

- Play - starts a slide show.
- Collage - starts a revolving five-picture slide show.
- Information - displays picture information.
- Delete - removes pictures from the frame.
- Copy - copies pictures from a memory card or USB device into your frame’s internal memory.
- Transition Time - changes how long each picture stays on the screen and the type of transition between pictures.
- Friends - view pictures sent by friends.
- Previous/Next - displays the previous/next picture on the frame.
- Health Check - appears when there is a network connection problem.

I was looking for a picture frame that could stream photographs from my PC where I already have my entire photo catalogue organised and stored. I also wanted to be able to do this via Wireless so no messing with moving photos onto memory cards. After much reading and research I settled onto this Frame as the closest option to what I was looking for. So here are my thoughts on the good and bad points of this frame
+ Strong picture quality, not the best I've seen but up there with the best.
+ Excellent touch screen. I was woried about messy finger prints on screen , but this is not a problem.
+ Very simple and easy to setup. You do need to register on Kodak web site, but all very clear and easy
+ Ability to email photos to be displayed on the screen is fantastic. I use this to send photo's from my PC, and from mobile phone to the frame. My wife also really likes this as this makes putting photo's on to the frame simple for her.
On the downside.
- I was very disappointed that I cannot see the frame as a storage device on my local network (Not even a web interface). The only way to use the wireless connection or manage the frame remotely is via the Kodak Pulse website. The more I have used this, the less of an issue this has become, but it still bothers me I need the kodak web site to make this work (What happens if site goes down, or one day will Kodak start charging to use the
website)
- While Frame allows you to set a timer for on/off to save energy, the timer only allows a single day on/off time. Ideally this would allow for Weekend / Weekday settings.
- Price is high to get the wireless capability (but this was worth it for me.)
Overall I would happily recommend this unit, and plan to buy one for my mother for Christmas as the ability to email photos to the picture frame is just so good for anyone that is technically challenged.

The frame in general looks nice, it has a shiny black border with a silver bezel. The stand is built on to the frame and only allows it to be in horizontal position unlike other frames that let you have it for portrait images. There is also a panel that you flip to give you access to the memory card slots and the usb drive.
The frame has 512mb internal memory so I just the the internal memory but I have tried it with memory cards. All you do is insert the card and the pictures appear on your frame.
The main new features of this frame is its wireless ability, using the touchscreen you have the frame scan for your wireless network which after entering your network password it will connect and provide you with a pin number and also instructions to go to the kodak pulse website.
At the website you create a new account and enter the pin number the frame provided you and then that is it, your account is linked to the frame.
From the account you can set up an email address so that you or others can just email photos to the frame, you can set it to link with facebook galleries which was pretty straight forward as well.
There are also more advanced control features for the frame that you do not find on the touch screen frame menu such as energy savings modes i.e. mine is programmed to come on at 9 in the morning and switch itself off at 11 at night.
You can also load the photos from your computer via this online panel. A screen comes up asking for the location of the photos and after selecting them it uploads wirelessly to the frame. The online programme is uses automatically resizes the photos you select for the frame so it makes good use of the memory. I had selected about 500mb worth of photos and after it resized and uploaded them I have actually only used about 2% of the memory (it lets you know the frame memory as well).
One small point is that the frame does not play movies like others can do... but hey this is a photo frame after all.
Having looked at other pictures frames I would say that the picture quality is up there with the best of them but at 800 x 600 resolution if you look at the frame up close the pictures do look a bit fussy due to resolution. Looking at the frame about half a meter away you will not notice this though.
The 7 inch frame also is an 800 x 600 resolution so I would have thought they would have increased the resolution for the larger frame, it is not a big deal but this is why I reduced the stars to 4.

A great frame. Easily configured out of the box and connected straight the way to my home wifi router.
The picture frame is very sleek and stylish. There is a great cover that hides the many card slots. The frame is only 800 x 600 resolution which seems to be the normal. I must admit I was very impressed with how my pictures displayed on it.
Absolutely LOVE the multi pic option with its random fades.
You can configure the frame to have its own email address so you/friends can send pictures direct to the frame from anywhere in the World. You can also gain access to the frame via a Kodak login which allows you to quickly upload pictures from your PC. You can also grant permissions to friends to access also. When logged in online you can also configure the power management of the frame... very swish!!
The frame has onboard memory but this is easily expanded with the external memory. I have 1600 pictures saved on just over 100mb so you may not even need to buy any extra as it does have 512mb as standard.
Well worth an investment. I did struggle to find reviews for the frame prior to purchase. The best thing to do is view the 7" versions which is exactly the same except for the bigger screen. The frame has many accolades in the gadget press.... Ticked all the boxes for me.
