Eastman Kodak Company announced an enhanced Digital Picture Frame portfolio that will bring consumers a more personalized and intuitive picture viewing experience. Available in 10-inch and 8-inch multimedia, and 7-inch standard photo versions, these sleek and stylish frames host a suite of features including the newly announced Quick Touch Border, as well as accessories for enhancing your home.
Control of the frame has never been easier with Quick Touch Border that allows for simple operation with a touch or slide of your finger, while leaving the screen fingerprint and smudge-free.
Transferring pictures from your PC to your KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Picture Frame is even more effortless with the new KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Display Software. In addition to organizing and editing your pictures, this software makes it easy to move your favorite pictures and slideshows from a computer directly onto the frame.
Kodak’s Digital Picture Frames display images in HD format (16:9 aspect ratio). The screens are color tuned to Kodak’s standards and use KODAK Color Science for vibrant colors and pleasing skin tones-displaying pictures in brilliant color and crisp detail.
"Kodak’s acclaimed and industry-leading Digital Picture Frames let consumers bring their favorite memories to life, releasing them from a computer and displaying them in brilliant quality in the home or office," said John Blake, general manager Digital Capture and Devices, Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. "With the addition of Quick Touch Border, Kodak has made the consumer experience even more intuitive and engaging."

In addition, optional KODAK Digital Frame Faceplates are available in Mahogany with a gold matte, Silver with a blue matte, Black Shadowbox with a champagne matte, and Espresso Shadowbox with a black matte. Easy to change, the faceplates snap onto the frame and update the look to suit your own personal style.

I had problems with two M820 units. The first I returned because it would load no more than 48 photos and it replacement would not reload some photos I had erased. Using another source photo did not overcome the problem.
