The Next Generation of Ceiva Digital Picture Frames
There was once a time when visions of moving photos and picture frames than displayed random images were relegated to science fiction books and movies. Well, here in the 21st Century, what once was futuristic fantasy is now part of our daily lives. As the very first digital picture frames available to the public, Ceiva frames are today among the most popular and most advanced digital frames on the market. Now that there have been many advancements made in mobile computing and networking, what kind of further advancements can we expect from the next generation of digital picture frames from Ceiva and others?

Even in today's most basic digital picture frames, there must be some method of saving images, either with an internal or external memory device. The best models will have a multi-function SD card slot and at least one USB slot, allowing for ample storing capacity and multiple storing methods. As our ability save more and more data on smaller and smaller devices continues to evolve, we should be able to save thousands, if not tens of thousands, of images on one single digital frame or memory device. As the newer models of digital frames expand the USB capabilities to further interact with computers and mobile devices, uploading and downloading files, as well as displaying them on televisions and projectors, will all be made much quicker and easier.
Though it is available on a couple digital frames out now, the ability to play music and video should be a standard feature on the next generation of models. With this, you should have the option to add different soundtracks and music playlists to specific slide shows and photo albums. Having video capabilities would allow us to show random clips of home videos, or perhaps clips of our favorite movies and quotes, interspersed with random still photos. Considering all of these expanded options and features, there are likely to be many creative possibilities with the next generation of digital picture frames.
This last point will be made even firmer if these newer digital frames have full wifi capabilities. This will allow you to connect your digital picture frame directly to the internet to d

This last point will be made even firmer if these newer digital frames have full wifi capabilities. This will allow you to connect your digital picture frame directly to the internet to directly upload and download images and media, as well as wirelessly connect to laptops and smartphones. It would also be possible to have a wireless server from which different digital frames in one building can access either the same folders and files, or else designated files for each specific device. Another feature that wireless networking technology makes possible is the ability to stream live video and audio from both local and remote devices and sources.
As more of us realize that we are more than a decade into the 21st Century, people will begin to expect and accept our past visions of the future as a good part of our present reality. Past dreams of handheld video phones, notebook-thin touchscreen computers, and picture frames changes photos and videos, these have all been turned into actual reality. If we consider the future potential of digital picture frames alone, what kind of other devices and technologies will be made available to us in the coming years?!
