This review is from: Kodak Easyshare W1020 10-Inch Wireless Digital FrameI wanted to like this product - I really did. It's a pretty case, the screen looks great, and the feature set is impressive.But the software and documentation problems are maddening. There is PC software that you install to control the frame and load photos, slideshows, etc. This software is frustratingly buggy and never worked for me. It gave several error messages on installation; after finally installing fully, it couldn't find the frame on the network. The screen displays an error message referring you to the manual, the manual refers you to a web FAQ, and the web site points you back to the manual - kind of an amusing tail-chasing exercise. After uninstalling and reinstalling, temporarily disabling my firewall, etc., I tried their live chat support, but the technician's script evidently extended only to the most basic things that I had already tried; and when I suggested that there might be a software problem he got argumentative. There doesn't appear to be any kind of "advanced" tab in the software for example to manually enter an IP address and troubleshoot problems like this, so in some ways I sympathize, all the tech can do is advise you to reinstall the software and then he may not have anything left up his sleeve.The frame did connect to the Internet and display my Kodak Gallery albums. So if that's all you want it for then I'd recommend it. But if you intend to use any of the advanced features, in particular controlling it wirelessly from a PC, it's a roll of the dice whether it will work for you. The one thing I would say from my experience with it is, if the software on the PC doesn't come up 100% clean and connect to the frame perfectly on your very first try, put the thing back in the box right away and give up, it's not worth hours of futzing with....

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare W1020 10-Inch Wireless Digital FrameI bought the Kodak EX 811 a year ago for my parents which was a wireless 8" digital frame. Unfortantely, many of the features were not fully implemented, and overall, the frame was a disappointment. Given that Kodak has had a year to get it right, I purchased the W1020 for myself to check it out. Wow. Kodak got this one right. I have only had a chance so far to configure the wireless feature and connect it to my online gallery, so there are many other features that I have yet to try. But my first impressions are very good from the nicely implemented on screen interface with a touch panel to features that were previously not implemented like power on/off which actually starts displaying photos from any source including the online gallery. I noticed that other features that were missing in the previous version are now available like a random display option so you do not always see the photos in the same order. I am now hoping that I can now upgrade my parent's EX 811 to the latest firmware to resolve some of the issues that the older frame had. I may write another review after I have had to chance to explore all the features of this frame, but it is looking like this frame is a real winner....

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare W1020 10-Inch Wireless Digital FrameThe promise of the Kodak W1020: manage your photos wirelessly from your computer, receive photos from others directly to your wireless frame, watch slide shows and videos from flickr and Kodak's site.The reality: many hours of fighting with the software and pulling my hair out isn't worth it.As others have said, the software (Kodak EasyShare Digital Display Software) is indeed pretty wonky and not intuitive. It often took 30 seconds or more to wait for it to load and had to be killed via Task Manager several times. Trying to navigate to your photos within the software is maddening. It is supposed to be drag and drop once you find the photos you want. The folder tree is the same as you would see in My Computer, but when you click on a directory that has many photos, the program does not show the files or allow you to select _any_ until it has ...
