The iPad – The Perfect Cloud-based Photo Frame?
What happens to your iPad for the 96% of time that you are not interacting with it?
To Thinking Screen Media the answer is crystal clear. The iPad becomes the ultimate cloud-based photo frame.
Thinking Screen Media’s web services platform, FrameChannel, allows for the selection and configuration of content for delivery to connected screens such as the iPad. With 1000 channels, users can combine their personal content (photos, tweets, messages, and favorite RSS feeds) with commercial content such as news, weather, sports, financial and local information.
Partnerships with photosharing and social networking sites allow users to access their personal photos. Commercial content providers deliver a vast library of channels from popular, recognizable sources. In addition, a massive library of hyper-local RSS feeds has been assembled to provide easy access to local events, town and city government updates and happenings at the local schools.
So what’s the ideal iPad functionality for the best photo frame experience?
1. Native functionality to allow for cloud-based slideshows
2. Alarm Clock integration to initiate cloud-based slideshows
3. Screensaver settings to initiate cloud-based slideshows
4. Slideshows which can marry cloud-based slideshows and local iPhoto content
Hopefully Apple is listening!
