does any one know where I can find a power cord for the one I have?
no wonder I can't get them on the phone and emais are returned... I ordered 2 cords (have had to replace 3 times)
anyway ordered in April... and have not recieved them.
I think the first internet connected photo frame was from kodak, around 2001
While the use of digital photo frames has exploded, so has the number of manufacturers.
CEIVA is proud to be known as the inventors of the internet connected digital photo frame. But since we began, now over 9 years ago, we have seen the industry negatively change with new start up manufacturers trying to enter the market.
Unfortunately many new manufacturers are more concerned with getting a product to market, than they are getting a QUALITY product to market.
Consumers are going to learn that ultimately they will want to invest in a digital picture frame that lasts. Consumers will come to understand that they need not change / upgrade to a new digital frame as often as they upgrade their cell phone. So, on the long run Consumers will look for frames that last.
Don’t be surprised that if for awhile you will see Digital Photo Frame manufacturers come and go.
