Is Pulse the perfect digital photo frames???
This may be the best digital frame on the market today....the killer feature is that images can be sent directly to the frame via its unique email address. Unlike the Ceiva frames...no annual fee or subscription required.

Here is a FirstLook of the Kodak Pulse:
