REVIEW: Kodak Pulse Digital Frame lets you share photos instantly
As part of our fortnight of Instagram goodness we were sent a 10" Kodak Pulse Digital Frame to try out, so we could showcase our favourite images from a fancy frame and not just squint at them on our teeny iPhone screens.
The Pulse looks like a regular digital photo frame, but what makes it a bit different is the way you can send photos wirelessly from a number of devices, by email or even Facebook.
How does it work?
You can just attach the frame to your computer and send photos across that way, but to take advantage of its super WiFi capability, just sign it into your wireless network and get sharing. You then need to set up a Kodak account and add some photos. This sounds like a bit of a pain, but it actually doesn't take very long at all and once it's done it's so simple to add or delete them afterwards.
The frame has a pretty responsive touchscreen, which lets you control how it works, which photos you see and how you see them by just pressing the large and easy to use dashboard.
