Wireless sharing on Kodak EX1011
Pros:
Pics look good to me
Excellent convenience of wireless sharing and copying to memory
Cons:
Sharing from your PC directly needs it to be always on(!)
The Bottom Line:
Pictures look good, it is stylish and wireless functionality works well if you ignore whatever Kodak say (see others comments)

Every so often you see comments from a bunch of techno-biffs and you have to set the record straight...
Right, first, go and download and install latest firmware from kodak, I have v2007.10.09.
Next, I do agree with all the abuse about the restriction of having to use WMP11 / XP to wireless share etc - especially as I have Win2k and WMP11 wont work on that. Also I had a look at Kodak's EasyShare software - load of rubbish, dont bother installing it (you can copy photos directly into USB shared drives on the frame from Windows).
Instead, head over to http://tversity.com/home and download their uPNP file sharing software. Install, run then share a folder on your PC with photos in it from the sharing tab and "add" button. Now, assuming you have connected your frame to your wireless network using the onboard network settings, a "network computer" icon will magically appear in the home menu, click ok and walk down the menus to your photos in the share and then press play on the remote. Job done, easy! You can also copy from the wireless network share to your internal memory using the menu button / copy option at the file thumbnail strip within the network computer share list.
I have spent just 2 hours this morning (first day of using it since Xmas) and have got it all sussed. Great device - seemingly poor support from Kodak. Nuff said.
