Kodak wireless OLED digital frame now available at Amazon

Daniel Lim, Dec 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

Just in time for holidays; the first of its kind, World’s first OLED powered Kodak photo frame with on-the-air connectivity is now available at Amazon. If you have a deep pocket here’s what you’ll get for a dollar shy of a grand : a thin profile 7.6-inch WVGA screen with incredible vibrant color, 180-degree viewing angle and 30,000:1 contrast OLED sensations, Wi-Fi connection for streaming photos from pc or photo-sharing sites; news, sports, weather reports from Framechannels , 2GB storage memory, and video and music playbacks. One thousand dollar price tag for a digital photo frame at sub 8-inch is a big sum of money to spend; but the Kodak is a bleeding edge photo frame with OLED screen and an industrial’s first touch-frame control system, it’s touch sensitive too. It requires no backlighting support and Kodak even throws in a dynamic ambient light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness according to room conditions. That and no color shifts with its brilliant viewing angles worth the asking price for the rich and wealthy. [via oled-display]

Kodak promises a better Five megapixel CMOS sensor for phone cameras

Daniel Lim, Feb 5th 2008 Discuss [0]

Five megapixel cell phone cameras are not new to us, Samsung has gone beyond the magic number five to eight less than three months ago. We’ve also done a thorough review of the 5MP Samsung and discovered the resolving power of a good image sensor combined with a decent internal compact zoom lens. Kodak's newest development sticks to a relatively conservative five megapixel resolution but it’s the industry first with 1.4 micron pixels, and promises to deliver higher light sensitivity with image quality that can equal or surpass larger 1.75 micron pixel CMOS designs.
