Ceiva Digital Photo Frames

I have been seeing this ad about Ceiva digital photo frames. I thought, "big deal,what's great about it?" I thought the photo frames are just for digi scrapping. Boy, was I wrong. It is actually the world's first internet-connected picture frame perfect for sharing digital photos for people who are not into internet, like my 76-year-old mother. The advent of digital camera, e-mailing and social networking on the net had rendered printing pictures almost passe. The set-up is perfect for PC users but not for non-PC users.

The Ceiva looks like a black-matt-regular-photo frame. It is not. It displays photos that are received via the built in modem at the back of the frame. You upload photos to Ceiva's web site and then their service sends the photos you select to friends and family who has the Ceiva digital photo frames. The frame needs to be close to a phone and power outlet. It also The comes with its own AC power supply so you can chose to leave it on all the time.There is no need for my mother to hook up with a computer to receive digital pictures from me. All I have to do is get her a Ceiva digital frame at $29.99 when I get a year's worth of subscription to Picture Plan. No more printing the pictures to mail them out to non-internet savvy friends and family.Cool!
