December 6, 2006 – With the plethora of digital picture frames out on the market this shopping season, CEIVA Logic, Inc. has distinguished itself as the provider for the “world’s first and only connected Digital Picture Frames,” according to a CEIVA press release. CEIVA announced on Monday the first wi-fi and broadband enabled digital photo frame with an 8-inch LCD monitor for $199.99 or a 7-inch digital frame for $149.99 that includes a three months free PicturePlan service.
The CEIVA Digital Photo Frame “can automatically receive and display new photos sent from anywhere in the world,” stated the release.
