First the internet was available on your cell phone, then, not long ago we talked about how Amazon’s Kindle lets you download books and read them without a computer. Now internet speed works for us again, this time for sending photos directly to a digital picture frame.
This is especially great for people who aren’t very computer or internet savvy and might not be able to easily view or enjoy e-mailed photos. With the Ceiva digital picture frame, we tech-savvy types can send our pics through cyberspace and right into their picture frame. Only a little bit of setup is required–connecting the phone cord, plugging in the power cord, and pushing a button.
Once that’s done, the frame automatically checks for new pictures each night, and then retrieves them so that in the morning, new pictures are visible. CEIVA frames can receive up to 50 new photos daily over a traditional phone line, or deliver 50 new photos every hour over a broadband or wireless connection—that is, if someone is sending that many.
And although there is a website, ceiva.com, that does require a computer to upload and organize photos into albums, that’s not necessary either, if you use the CEIVAMobile feature with a camera phone. Or if you use the built-in memory card reader, which supports the most popular memory cards in use today.
The frame also includes an adapter to connect to a home network via a Wi-Fi connection, if you want to place the frame someplace away from a phone jack.
We don’t want to encourage people to work longer hours in the hopes that their spouse will send pictures of their child’s events that they missed, but it could be a great way to send a guilt-trip with internet speed!
