Written on Jan 18, 2010 by Malcolm Reynolds and filed under Featured, GiiNii, Reviews
One of the side effects to reviewing many different digital picture frames is that I start to expect more and more from a typical picture frame.

This picture frame is just a picture frame … nothing more and nothing less.

Review: Kodak EasyShare S730

Considering the features found on your typical digital photo frame, there’s certainly a fine line between useful and useless.
