Loved ones not happy enough with the fact that you’ve just bought them a new digital picture frame? Then perhaps you should try pre-loading up to 100 photos on it before you actually give it or ship it out to them. This is what a convenient new service from Kodak is trying to do for customers, which I would label great if only it weren’t a paid service—it costs $20, which is in addition to the price of the digital picture frame itself.

And what exactly does an additional $20 give you? Well, for starters, an SD card will come with the digital picture frame package that you order, and in it you have the option to load up to 100 snap shots for the recipients to uncontrollably laugh at.

Though I don’t think a service like this would catch on any time soon, still we tip our hats off to Kodak for thinking this up. What took you so long?
