"Don't buy if you want to stream pictures from your PC"

by spronovo on January 27, 2008

Pros: Nice picture frame if your only looking to display pictures from the built-in memory.

Cons: Wifi capability of the frame is only usefull to copy pictures to the built-in memory, not to stream directly from a PC. A USB stick works just as well for that purpose.
Summary: I bought the EX1011 wireless digital frame thinking i would be able to painlessly stream my pictures (10,000+) from my PC to my digital frame, unfortunately there are key features missing to this frame to allow this scenario to really work.

1) Display pictures in random order (shuffle)
I have 10,000+ pictures on my PC. I want them to be shown in random order on the digital frame. Also, everytime the frame is powered ON/OFF i want to have a different seed for the random generator to be used such that everyday there is a fresh new set of pictures being displayed on the screen.

2) Resume streaming after being powered ON
As it is, each time the digital frame is turned OFF than back ON it goes back to the main screen and i have to manually select again to stream pictures from my PC. I want to be able to use the built-in timer to display pictures on the frame during the day only, in the morning when the frame starts up i want it to automatically start streaming again without ANY user intervention.

These two features are critical for a seamless streaming experience, without it this frame wireless capability is only usefull to transfer picture to the built-in memory... which is a scenario i just don't care about.

I'll be bringing back this frame to the store. Hopefully these problem will be addressed in the future and i can consider Kodak again for digital frame for myself or gift to my friends and family.

Thank you for submitting your feedback!
