CES 2009: Kodak's Wireless Video Enabled OLED Photo Frame

OLED technology is still a few years off from replacing our plasma and LCD televisions, but it's making in-roads on devices that don't require large screens right now.  Case in point, Kodak's Wireless OLED Picture Frame.  Its 7.6" (800 x 480 resolution) screen boasts a 36000:1 contrast ratio, a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and a 180-degree viewing angle.  The Frame comes with 2 gigabytes of on-board memory and has an SD card slot and USB port for further expansion.

Wireless connectivity gives the Frame the ability to pull photos from Flickr, Kodak Gallery, and FrameChannel--as well as from home PCs.  Kodak's Frame isn't limited to still images either, and can play video and audio too.  It comes equipped with a VGA video port and a mini-jack connection for audio in/out.  The Kodak OLED Wireless Frame has a touch-sensitive control scheme, but on the borders only.  Greasy fingerprints would defeat the purpose of having such a crisp screen, no?  It's available now, but will set you back a cool $1000 to own one.
