Title: Would have been good without the required subscription
Review: I checked this out at a local store and was impressed by the quality of this digital picture frame. Ten years ago I briefly owned a digital frame. Things really haven't changed that much since, except the Ceiva has a nice screen and seems easier to use than previous generations.But it's the subscription that turned me off and made me thing this makes a poor holiday gift (unless you also pay for the subscription rather than forcing your giftee to pay). I think the frame itself probably costs just a few bucks to make, and they charge you almost $150, plus they want to get more money frmo you by charing you a monthly fee. That's just a rip-off to me. (Maybe I'm just too cheap.)These days computers have become so easy to use that even grandmas and grandpas can become experts at using Windows, so I don't really see the benefits of something like this. If they are afraid to turn on a computer, they'll probably be uncomfortable plugging this in, too.
