Just a few days back, Kodak showed off a new pocket HD camcorder called the “Playsport” at CES 2010. This camera featured ruggedness, waterproofing and the Zi8′s sensor, capable of 1080p video.

Today, we found a release date on the camera’s Amazon page!

It is set to be released April 5, 2010!

If you were expecting an update to the Kodak Zi6′s firmware, you’re out of luck.

According to the Kodak booth at CES, there will no longer be anymore updates to the Zi6′s firmware, due to the release to the Kodak Zi8. Meaning, you can either purchase the Zi8 or, figure out how to hack the firmware like these guys tried to over at the Vimeo forums – “Editing the Zi6 Firmware”

That’s about it for Kodak’s very first pocket camcorder.
