Kodak EasyShare W1020

The panel has great color but it constantly reboots. I had an earlier Kodak panel that died after about a year and a half. I have an Panel from Pantek and while the color is not as good, its' operation is rock solid. I guess 2 for 2 loser panels are why Kodak is a dieing company. Used to be a fan of the great yellow father through film and early digital but no more.

I have had this frame for about two years. At just under 1 year old it started constantly rebooting. I sent it off to Kodak who said there was nothing wrong with it, but obviously did something to it as it came back working.

Now, at about 23 months old, it is sitting there rebooting again, even though yesterday it was fine! I loved this frame, but it seems like it is just too unreliable, so it only gets 1*, otherwise it would have got 5* for its pictures and FrameChannel ability.

I like this a lot.

This is not an ordinary picture frame-it's your window to the world.

The KODAK EASYSHARE W1020 Wireless Digital Frame connects you to friends and family with leading photo sharing web sites like KODAK Gallery and FLICKR. Wireless connectivity gives you seamless access to your memories-whether they are stored on your home computer or online.

The intuitive Quick Touch Border allows you to get the latest news, weather, sports, and more in one touch. It's the power of the Internet, brought right to your fingertips.

I gave Kodak the benefit of doubt after reading poor reviews for previous models. At the end of the day it was easier for Kodak to give full wifi access to the frame but no Kodak seem to want to play Big Brother so as to offer you paid services for something which we should be entitled to access via wifi anyway.

Oh one more point it loves to try update the firmware as soon as you take it out of the box. Shame it don't work. Of course Kodak tell you it's on their website! WHERE MAY THAT BE THEN?
