These are a few of their newer items that I thought our readers would want to know about.
The newly released PlaySport is a perfect addition to your summer life. It's a waterproof video camera with easy share options. Waterproof? I'm in love with the idea. I don't take any of our video cameras, whether they're attached to the phone or a compact variation, when we go to the beach or the pool. I'm always worried that I'll ruin the camera with sand or water. I love the fact that it doesn't compromise quality (1080p HD video) while keeping memories safe from accidentally getting bashed by a wave while trying to record some beach memories.
The PULSE is the digital frame to beat all digital frames. I want one. I want one for all of the grandparents in the family. I want everyone I know to have one. Basically, the frame has its own email address. You simply email a photo to the email address and, voila! Your PULSE frame is updated. You can also upload to the frame from Facebook or Kodak Gallery. Basically, it takes the tech issues out of the tech product. I know that my mother-in-law has struggled with her digital frame (non-Kodak) and I know that this would be the perfect solution for her. Of course, remember that anyone who has the email address for the frame can upload a photo. You might see an old photo of yourself at prom or one that isn't overly flattering! Be selective in sharing the information with your pesky little brother.
Back to camera info, I love the easy share feature on the SLICE and EasyShare M cameras. A three step process makes sharing your photos easier than you ever imagined. Press the share button on your photo preview screen, tag where you want to share the photo (email it, send it to Facebook, upload it to Kodak Gallery or flickr) and then when you connect your camera to you computer, it automatically sends the photos where you have designated. I love that idea. Maybe grandparents would whine less that I never send them pictures if they just automatically showed up in their inbox!
For the expectant and brand new moms among us, I know you'll jump at the chance for free birth announcements. Kodak is offering two sets of ten birth announcements. For free. No catch. I'm pretty much in love with the blue train one. Since we're done adding to our family, perhaps someone I know can have a baby boy and send me that announcement. I think it's absolutely adorable!
You'll be happy to know that Kodak is really interested in what moms think about their products. In my conversation with Elizabeth, I learned that they are on top of how busy today's moms are, which is why they're creating products that make it easier to share and create. I have to love a company like that! I'll be keeping my eye on their future products so that I help keep you updated on tech gadgets specifically geared to you!
Disclosure: I received nothing for writing this post. I just wanted to share some great new tech stuff from a company who understands tech loving moms!

I really like the idea of the water-safe video camera with easyshare. I have not learned the sharing of the video thing yet. I am very behind the times!
