LAS VEGAS-Kodak announced a new digital camera with Wi-Fi capability for e-mailing and viewing pictures. Kodak said the EasyShare-One camera will also have integrated access to T-Mobile USA Inc.’s HotSpot service, available at more than 5,000 locations across the United States.
T-Mobile subscription plans will be available for the camera beginning later this year, Kodak said. The EasyShare-One zoom digital camera includes processing technology from Texas Instruments Inc. and offers storage for up to 1,500 pictures and in-camera editing.
The camera will be available in June for $600. The optional Kodak Wi-Fi card will be available separately. In addition to letting users wirelessly e-mail pictures, the Wi-Fi card can transfer pictures from a docked camera or memory card to networked computers throughout a home. With the card, the Kodak’s Printer Dock Plus can also receive pictures for printing from Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, personal digital assistants and other devices without requiring them to be in the same room.
Last year, Kodak announced the Kodak Mobile service, which allows users to upload and store their camera-phone images and then print them out at participating retail outlets.<
