Fine if you don't want a true shuffle mode on P820..

First problem. When I turn off the Frame with the power switch and turn
it back on, the pictures display in Filename, A - Z order (not shuffled).

Second Problem: Then I go into the Slide Show settings and note that
shuffle is still on, so I turn it off, then on again. The pictures now
are shuffled, but it displays the pictured the same shuffled order over
and over (not reshuffled after all pictures are displayed).

Constacted Kodak support and they had no solution.

I've found the exact same thing. Even though shuffle is enabled the pictures will only shuffle if I disable it and then turn it on again, and then they play in the same order as the last time I did so. How hard can it be to program the thing to randomly shuffle the files?! When I discovered a firmware update on the Kodak website, I thought that would fix the problem, but no such luck - very frustrating!
