After a summer-long delay, Eastman Kodak has begun shipping the first digital camera with WiFi Latest News about WiFi wireless technology to e-mail photos directly to friends and family without a computer.
Users of the new EasyShare-One, priced at US$599, can send photos directly through a WiFi transmitter at home or work, or pay $4.99 per month to connect the camera with any of T-Mobile USA’s 6,000 hot spots at stores, airports, hotels and other establishments. However, subscribers to other WiFi services will not be able to connect an EasyShare-One to those wireless accounts.
The EasyShare-One’s liquid-crystal screen contains an easy-to-use instruction menu: Shutterbugs can either e-mail pictures and video clips or post them on Kodak’s online photography site. Though the photos are actually routed through the Kodak site, users can set up their accounts so that the messages appear to arrive from a personal e-mail address.
Camera-equipped cell phones already offer photo-sharing capabilities but typically produce low-resolution images. The new Kodak camera boasts 4 Megapixels of resolution, 3x optical zoom, storage room for up to 1,500 photos and a 3-inch touch screen — big enough for the camera to double as a portable album.
