Momento Live To Be Terminated
Momento Live is a service that goes along with the wifi enabled Momento digital picture frames
I purchased two of these frame partly for this feature. I wanted to buy frames for my family then be able to stream my pictures to them as without anyone having to do any configuring.
Today I get a email that the service is being terminated. Not only is their site not updated to reflect what the email says, they seem to provide no work around to provide the same kind of service that they currently offer or to remove it from the frame’s software.
I think someone needs to hack the frame to run linux.
Dear Member,
The Momento Live service will be terminated on February 25, 2009. After that date you will not have access to the Momento Live website or services. However, your Momento frame will be unaffected so you can continue to enjoy viewing your photos on your frame.
The closure of Momento Live web site means you can no longer store your photos on the Momento Live server and/or and share your photos with other Momento Live members.
Important note! Any pictures that you have stored on Momento Live server will be permanently lost after February 25, 2009. If you have any images stored on the Momento Live server, please ensure you have a copy of them stored on your PC. Any images that are hosted on Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, or similar services will not be affected.
When currently visiting the Momento Live web site you may receive a website security warning as the SSL certificate has expired and will not be renewed. Please ignore this message. You are welcome to continue onto the website to retrieve your images.

Absolutely right! They are still advertising the service as if it was still live. This was a VERY nice feature of this frame. Anyone know of a similar (or better) model?
I wrote them a mail to provide us information on how to hijack the protocol or access the frame directly… They earned the money. So, to be fair, they should give us the needed information. Maybe the give us some technical details…

This is the same argument that is being made against DRM for music. If you buy in to a closed system, you are putting your trust in that company.
Bad news for you all I’m afraid. I have had confirmation from I-mate that it will not be possible to stream photos from any other source – like flikr, picsa, framechannel etc. I think this is an outrageous move by imate when this is the main feature that anyone would have bought one of these frames for.
I just now found out that Ceiva will give you a special deal if you’re a Momento Live customer that got gyped when they stopped their service. Pretty smart idea really.
