Kodak Pulse Digital Frame 7 inch

"Grandma doesn't know it yet, but she wants a Kodak Pulse digital picture frame," says Mashable.com's Charlie White. Indeed, the picture frame seems marketed to the older relatives White discusses in his review, primarily because of ease of use. For a digital picture frame to capture this market "there can't be anything complicated about it," says White. "It just has to work." This photo frame is a gift for the "technologically uninterested," White explains, and "the best one I've seen."

Kyle Schurman at About.com also finds a lot to love about the Kodak Pulse frame. In fact, Schurman had previously dismissed digital photo frames due to the difficulty of setup, the image quality and the cost. The Kodak Pulse 7-inch frame helped change Schurman's mind, and he readily admits the frame is "a great option for displaying your photos." He appreciates the ease of setup and the reasonable price, but laments the small frame size and the lack of a battery option.
