Kodak Introduces Wireless Picture Maker Kiosks
The International Herald Tribune is reporting that Kodak are introducing their Picture Maker kiosks across Europe. The kiosks are equipped with Bluetooth, a short-range wireless technology, which will allow camera phone users to beam their photos to the kiosks and print them out. Perhaps more interestingly for digicam owners, Kodak is also planning to expand the service:
“Within the next 12 to 18 months, Kodak plans to expand the range of mobile devices that can communicate with the kiosks and also include other wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi. “We are not married to any particular technology,” said Lisa Gansky, Kodak’s general manager for digital imaging services.”
From the same article, HP have introduced 2 inkjet printers that are bluetooth-enabled and which will accept photos from Sony Ericsson’s P800/P900 phones. “HP said it expects to introduce more Bluetooth-enabled printers that will work with a wider range of camera phones later this year.”
