I hate subscription services, but I'll pay for them if they're something that I really want and they provide a real service. Even if I did want a digital picture frame, the service here is entirely redundant - they are charging customers to make the process more complicated. I suppose the idea of having the picture frame at grandmas house and updating it remotely is a nice one, but why not let people pay for that service if they want it, while letting everyone else upload pictures locally?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[n8]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[n8 nails it - is this service designed for people who have no idea what else to do with their money? I mean, a SUBSCRIPTION?? For pity's sake - frame, removable storage, power supply - how hard can that be? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patrick Dodds]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 9:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think this is a GREAT new product line from Ceiva. The size of the display has always been a point of contention with me, and that's now been quelled! I've also ALWAYS wanted to be able to upload pictures over my cable modem, instead of the phone line - excellent improvment!<br><br><br><br>The price is..well...a little steep...but that's the cost of techonology! I'm happy to see they're including three years of service. I'll gladly pay for a new product to encourage the company to continue updating, improving and moving forward, just like Ceiva is doing now.<br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[skathic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 1:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[one 15in lcd + one crappy computer + assorated cables = picture frame for cheeper then this]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mrono]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 1:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is actually not a bad deal, at least compared to their 5-6" model.  We bought one for Grandma a while ago and it was $350 for 3 years of service plus the device itself.  Getting a 15 inch frame would of been nicer.  (She loves it and would be lost updating a free version that required a memory card)<br><br><br><br>Now why doesn't some one come out with a cheap one for the do-it-yourself type person who doesn't need the subscription?   A $150 LCD plus $100 in computer components (a memory card reader, etc.) should be more than enough to make a profit on it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wsharp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 1:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[Eh, too much I did it for $20.00<br><br><a href='http://www.frontiernet.net/~beakmyn/pictureframe/'>http://www.frontiernet.net/~beakmyn/pictureframe/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[beakmyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2006 6:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[That was a really cool project and guide you made with it beakmyn...thanks]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anawrahta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2006 4:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ceiva announces 15-inch, $599 digital picture frame]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/08/ceiva-announces-15-inch-599-digital-picture-frame/</guid><description><![CDATA[One of these days, Ceiva will realize the true brilliance of this technology and apply it to marketing. Grandmas are one thing, but imagine what the technology could do for franchised brands who, until now, have had very little control over what franchisees show to consumers. In the past they'd send out time-sensitive promotional materials, and would have no clue whether they were put up or taken down in a timely manner. This would give the brand the power to control what the consumer sees. Not only would brands save thousands of dollars in printing and shipping, they could change the messaging at a moments notice or literally earn money selling ad space to other brands. <br>I work with one company that franchises maybe 10,000 hotels under various brand names. That would be one heck of a sale for Ceiva. Never mind these one-off grannies!!! Ceiva should contact me. I'll make them rich, I tell ya!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Tedeschi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2006 1:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
