TEXT and MESSAGING FILES
Text Files
There are many digital frames that can actually display text and messaging files in the .txt format as well as display photos.
I found this feature very useful in a digital keychain that I sent to my daughter one year. I was able to send her birthday greetings right on the frame along with the pictures. Much more impressive than even a photo birthday card!
Some frames with Audio capabilities can even support lyrics for MP3 audio files!
File Management
The higher quality (and also usually more expensive) digital photo frames can also manage files. With these frames, it is possible to delete, rename and copy files between the cards and the internal memory (when there is one).
Some frames will come with software that may enable you to add captions to your photos or special effects such as masks or borders or changing the mode to black and white and/or sepia.
The above features can also be found on photo sharing sites, especially ones that require a subscription.
Immediate Direct Photo Emailing
This is done from a computer or a mobile phone to a digital frame. A built-in mail filter protects against unwanted photos.
Smart Photo Play List
This is a very useful and clever feature which allows users to choose photos to be displayed on specified dates, such as displaying selected photos on a user's birthday or anniversary.
Text and messaging files can be included in the same way as photos for these selections.
Group Frames
These frames allow users to set up a singe email address that corresponds to multiple frames. This is so that photos can be easily shared and displayed as text and messaging files on those frames.
Frames with this feature will support all major RSS photo feeds including Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, AOL Smugmug, iPhoto, Gallery, etc.
Newer digital frames are also able to display all types of RSS feeds, including news and internet information, directly onto their screens.
.Email-to-Frame/Web-to-Frame Messaging
This feature allows short messages to be sent directly to the frame from the user's special account to preferred email accounts and cell phones.
Email Photos from Frame
A one-touch button allows users to send photos directly from their digital photo frames to a web account and the email accounts of their family and friends.
Text Messaging Frame
This feature is similar to Email-to-Frame/Web-to-Frame Messaging, allowing short messages to be sent directly to and from authorized email accounts and cell phones.
Too Much Information?
I hope that all of the above information does not complicate matters for you when it comes to choosing digital frames.
Right now, my guess is that most of us just want to display photos and perhaps add some music or video in our own digital frames and perhaps those we give as gifts.
I am confident that when you see the amazing number of features that can be found in digital frames today, you will begin to find all kinds of uses for digital frames in your own life.
It is interesting to know what is out there in case you are in a situation that might call for something just a little extra special!
The majority of us are always looking for new, better and more efficient ways to accomplish our daily tasks.
The text and messaging files of a digital frame can be the answer.
And, of course, as far as keeping in touch and connecting and sharing our lives with our loved ones, digital frames can play a very important and rewarding role in our lives.
