Digital photo frames have managed to cross into the mainstream segment, so it's really no wonder that we're seeing quite a few devices of this type being released at this year's International CES as well. And one of the first big names to come up with such a product is Kodak, which announced its Kodak PULSE Digital Frame, a very versatile gadget that should cater to pretty much all of the needs of the modern-day digital photographer.

So, the touchscreen-enabled frame is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and a personal e-mail address so consumers can easily send pictures wirelessly to the frame from a computer, from Facebook and Kodak Gallery sites, or from any device that has email capability. Moreover, the digital frame can store up to 4,000 pictures within its 512 MB of internal memory.

The Pulse comes equipped with a 7-inch high-quality display (800 x 600 pixels), featuring KODAK Color Science and LED backlighting. No word on whether it's OLED or not, but the second option is the more likely the one, unfortunately.

"Kodak believes sharing pictures should be simple, not a chore," said John Blake, General Manager, Digital Capture and Devices and Vice President, Kodak. "Picture this: you live on the east coast. Your parents live on the west coast. You just had a baby, so you give your parents a PULSE Frame to ensure that they can share in every moment of your child's life. You can send pictures by email from your smartphone or even through Facebook or Kodak Gallery. With the PULSE Frame, you always have something to look forward to as the frame refreshes with new pictures."

"Now, picture this: Remember your high school prom picture? The one with the big hair? Well, your best friend just uploaded it to her Facebook photo album and now it's on your own PULSE Frame!" added Blake.

Kodak's PULSE Digital Frame is slated to arrive in stores in April 2010, with the estimated retail price being set somewhere in the vicinity of 130 US dollars.
