Kodak Monthly Tech Brief Explores How Camera Phone Users Go Mobile With Their Pictures

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 1—Digital photography has made computer based slideshows and photo sharing a reality for millions of consumers. Now, Kodak is giving consumers a new service that brings these features to their mobile phones.

Kodak’s Monthly Tech Brief explores how the advent of new imaging-enabled mobile phones that include web access (and, in more recent higher-end versions, also include a one-megapixel camera), coupled with online and mobile picture services, will give consumers new ways to access their pictures and share individual images, slideshows, and online photo albums, without relying on desktop or laptop computers.

The KODAK Mobile Service (http://www.kodakmobile.com) offers mobile phone users anytime, anywhere access to all of their digital photos and phone-captured video. Consumers can now browse and download appropriately sized versions of full-size digital pictures from their online albums. In the future, they will be able to personalize their handsets with wallpaper of their favorite images. Building upon the multimedia messaging service (MMS) capability in most new phones, users of the KODAK Mobile Service can also access picture uploading and sharing services directly from their phones.

In addition, many KODAK Picture Maker kiosks at retail locations are equipped with mobile printing capabilities and five-second printing with superior KODAK PERFECT TOUCH premium processing.

To achieve this range of functions and features, Kodak researchers have built applications to work with the major handset platforms covering a wide range of wireless phone brands and models. These applications can integrate with the different carrier networks that route messages between mobile handsets and the KODAK Mobile Service web site.
