...or i could buy an hdtv and display the pics so everyone in the room could see them.........your move kodak
983.95 42 inch plasma on black Friday, i agree with getting a t.v.
Hey, on the bright side, you do get free shipping, that's Super free shipping.
First I saw the price and was confused. I knew it was a digital picture frame but I thought they meant to print 99.99 not 999.99. Come on REALLY KODAK.
or buy a computer and a nice monitor and have a huge picture slideshow...and get this, be able to use it as a computer, too!
Or just put a tablet on a frame.
2 things I think everyone is missing...
1) Most imporantly... This is OLED guys, not LCD, did you read the post?
2) Sony is selling an 20" OLED TV right now for $2500, that's not much better, only a couple extra inches in comparison.
3) Rich people want to be the first to have something, so they'll eat this up like hotcakes.
4) Rich people have the right to spend their money on whatever the heck they want, it's their money.
@ zion w/e the fuck ur name is
everherd of OLED well if you red the article you would have noticed this word ITS NEW TECHNOLOGY very sweet NEW TECHNOLOGY!
The only porblem i see is theres no HDMI port so i cant install it in my ride as a screen for my xbox 360 SHAME!
Well at least its a start guys. But at the same time at the size of seven inches apart from a bit less power there will not be that much difference in width of the unit in comparison to LCD.
@bob
I have no problem with your post except "a couple inches?"
20 is nearly 3x 7.6!
and I'm sure it has nearly 9x the viewing area
way to be misleading
What about the short life span of OLED products? The tech has improved, but not enough for a device which will be on 24/7. How many years (months?) will your $1K toy last?
@ Lazarpandar
Actually, if you read it, it's not misleading at all. I said "in comparison" which means you compare the price and picture size. If you take the $2500 20" TV that Sony has and compare it to how many of these you can get for that same price, that's an extra inch in diagonal size, but the price difference is very little. That's what I meant. Now if I had said "Sony's 20 inch TV is only a couple extra inches than one of these" that would be misleading as I specifically said one of these frames.
However, you would still be missing screen real estate if you took only 3 of these, so that is kind of misleading. BUT, I'm not a Sony fanboy, in fact, not sure I've ever owned anything Sony brand, they've always been overpriced (in my opinion).
O_O
thats what she sa--. looked like.
her eyes were huge at the smallness of it skyblaze
@skyblaze
You don't have to insult her just because she didn't love you; nobody did, remember? ;)
It almost looks like the dog's confused expression. Even it looks confused at the price.
When I first saw this article I assumed it was another famous Amazon pricing error or something.
@who
i was bored from lack of news and wanted to see how much attention i could grab: lots :)
Excellent! All that with the pixel density of an 7 inch Eee PC. Pass.
Is this an error? You might as well get a real computer...
Agree. In that price category, I would also rather opt for a computer.
I would like to think that most rich people didn't get that way by being stupid, yet it seems that's exactly the market for this device: the stupid and rich. Unless, of course, they accidentally hit 9 one too many times, in which case that would be much more reasonable.
Don't forget about the rich who are rich due to inheritance.
well...getting shite like this would mean doing something we poor people would not do....so what's there to stop them eh?
no. definately not a mistake. Just look at Sony's 11 inch OLED TV/ 2000 dollars.
W.T.F. There are many things you could do with a thousand dollars, this shouldn't be on your list.
Even Warren Buffet is going "lolwut?"
What the HELL! A $999.95 picture frame, I could buy a TV and have it mounted too. Kodak PLEASE!!!
The dog does not seem too amused with that price...
"Are you serious? do you know how much Kibbles 'N Bits I can get for $1,000?"
nice b00bz
ha ha, also nice name/pic combo!
why the hell did you change your pic? i want to see those melons!!
screw this, i'll head to hooters...
...
you would think that engadget readers would find better means of getting that kind of stuff than staring at a guy's avatar. just sayin'.
*cough* google images
Google images? You should be ashamed of yourself...
It's the first big oled picture frame of course it's going to be expensive.
Give it a year and the prices will be cheap!
A poor mans version of an XEL-1 perhaps?
No dude, this is the idiot's version of the XEL-1
Icanhaz expensive foto phrame for kibble, Kodak?
-Kodak lolcat
Could get an SE X1 for that price and have enough left over to get another phone!, or a very nice HDTV. or... well anything is better
I actually purchased this...ya ya ya....
but anyways the picture is amazing but the customer support is terrible!
For a $1000 frame you would think everything would work like the auto "on"!!! Hello!
And yes, the unit would shut off at the appropriate time but never turn back on....
wow really?
does it have any video support? whats the sound quality like?
correction: Amazon: "..enhanced video clarity and outstanding sound reproduction.."
So have you watch any videos off this thing
That dog deserves to be in a $1000 picture frame...he saved a family from a burning farmhouse including a talented three legged pig. The pig lived in the farmhouse because of it's talents...it could dance, answer the door and keep intruders away. Mind you...it had four legs before the fire but...you don't eat a talented pig like that all at once...do you...
LOLROTF!! .. reminds me of some Irish joke I heard long ago.
Chileans have been known to praise the three legged swine as bringers of luck.
I work at a Kodak photo print shop, we do sell digital photo frames from Kodak and they are very good quality.
But, don't think that ANYONE is gonna want to spend $1000 on one.
I can see how good that OLED screen is right here on my LCD!#$!@$!!
8" LCD SVGA photo frames are $39.99, 49.99...

Thinly veiled reference to Richie Rich's dog, or completely co-inky-dink written by a person too young to even know?
Dolla dolla bill, y'all!
