My model came with a docking station and a straight USB connector. Setup requires the installation of Kodak's mc3 connection software. It's a snap to use, automatically sensing when the unit is plugged in and launching an application that makes it easy to transfer files. That said, all the people I snapped seemed to enjoy seeing their pictures - which is the whole point of this gadget. If you want to touch up your photos, Kodak bundles a simple but capable editor called ArcSoft PhotoImpression.
Movies are a lot more fun.
And once again, everyone got a kick out of the videos I shot. You can record at 10 or 20 frames per second. The former saves oodles of space, but the results are pretty choppy. Unless you're e-mailing your production, the 20 FPS setting is better. However, the ArcSoft VideoImpression software bundled with the camera allows you to save your productions as standard MPEG or AVI files, too.
