CEIVA 3 Digital Photo Receiver

Cheap CEIVA 3 Digital Photo Receiver Review

I purchased this from Target (Ceiva3) for my parents who are in their 70's for Christmas. It is great! they do not have wireless or broadband in fact they don't have internet at all. All the family are now sending pictures. Every morning they have new ones. I have had to call the customer service once and they were really nice and helpful and it was my error. I don't know what service someone wrote cost 12.00, mine is 9.95 a month lots cheaper than my XM Radio.

I like how I can control all the fuctions from my computer so I can set it up how they want (time delays, recycle of photos, locking of photos to keep on the frame and ones to delete).

As far as the contract and lost pictures, I always download my pictures from my camera into dated files i.e. Christmas2006, NewYear2007, then using the free software from Ceiva (CEIVASender) I pick, edit, add text and send the pictures to the frame that way I always have the pictures. Since the whole idea is to share pictures, I want my parents to see the ones I have also.

One of the nice things is by using my computer I can go to the Ceiva Members page, click on the My Account tab, then click on the Now Showing
and see the same pictures my parents are seeing. You can even double click on one of the pictures and it will take you to another window where you can scroll through the pictues. If you double on the larger picture that is showing it will enlarge it. Use your right click and you can save the picture to you computer. Now all the family members that have computers can enjoy the pictures same as my mom and dad.

CEIVA has come up with two new frames just before Christmas 2006 and no longer have my parents model (CEIVA3) so I don't know if these have the broadband and wireless problems. I like the looks of the old ones better for older folks (looks more like the old wood style picture frame and not this new curved plastic frames).
