Kodak Releases Wi-Fi-Enabled Printers

by Thomas Houston, posted Sep 22nd 2008 at 12:01AMBreaking News



Kodak has two new printers lined up for this fall that offer Wi-Fi connectivity, which means you can set them up anywhere in your house without having to worry about having a USB cord that reaches far enough. Of course, you can also hook them up via Ethernet or USB if you want to go the wired route. The ESP 9 AiO seems to be aimed at the home office set with its additional built-in copying, scanning, and faxing features. Both printers print in color and black and white, and also come equipped with LCD displays for managing print settings. The pair's front panels have a range of slots for importing pictures directly from your digital camera.

The ESP 7 AiO retails for $199.99 and the ESP 9 AiO is out for $299.99, and they should be in stores mid-October.

Kodak Launches World's First Super-Thin OLED Picture Frame

by Thomas Ricker, posted Sep 17th 2008 at 9:42AMBreaking News


We figured it was coming, now sure enough, Kodak just let loose a new picture frame based on CMEL's new mass-produced, 7.6-inch OLED panels. Ultra-thin as you'd expect and wireless as you'd hope, the new 800 x 480 pixel Wireless Frame should be ready for the holidays sporting 2GB of internal storage, integrated audio, a 30,000:1 contrast, 180-degree viewing angle, and photo service compatibility with Flickr and others. Unfortunately, it's got a price you'd expect from this nascent display tech: $999. Sparky, had better be worth it.

Kodak Zi6 Pocket HD Camcorder for the YouTube Set

by Paul Miller, posted Jul 11th 2008 at 8:10AMBreaking News


Sure, it might shoot 720p video, but you aren't gonna catch indie filmmakers capturing the next low-budget masterpiece on Kodak's new Zi6 HD pocket video camera. The camera is Kodak's response to Pure Digital's Flip and Creative's Vado, complete with upright form factor, YouTube friendliness, simple as could be interface, a flip-out USB plug (with some surprising spring action), and, of course, totally shoddy video quality.

The camera is powered by a pair of AA batteries, sports a 2.4-inch LCD, and can switch between VGA video, 30fps HD and 60fps HD. It'll sell for $180 in September, in black or pink, but there's only 128MB of memory on board -- you'll have to spring for an SD card if you want to do any substantial shooting.

Kodak Theatre HD Player Brings Web, PC Content to Your TV

by Paul Miller, posted Jul 10th 2008 at 6:45PM

Many have tried to be that other box that sits under your TV. You know, the DVD player, the cable box, the TiVo, the consoles are all well and good, but somebody somehow needs to solve they mystery of getting Web and PC content onto your TV and Kodak might be on the cusp of cracking it. Kodak's new Kodak Theatre HD Player is a simple, slick little box (about the size of a Wi-Fi router) with multiple flash card slots, a USB port, and all the requisite home theater outputs like HDMI, component and all that.

The unit can naturally shuffle through photos like there's no tomorrow, and includes wireless access to pull stuff off of Flickr feeds or your PC's hard drive, but there's also 720p (high definition) video playback, online radio and what have you.

The real clincher is that you won't be interacting with all this via a clunky d-pad remote, but instead there's an amazingly great Wii remote-like gyroscopic mouse that makes the whole thing a joy to use. The $300 price tag might turn some people off when this lands in September, especially with no built-in storage, but we still think Kodak might have a winner on its hands.

Kodak Unveils a Pair of Flickr-Friendly Photo Frames

by Paul Miller, posted Jul 10th 2008 at 10:53AM


Kodak's new W820 (8-inch) and W1020 (10-inch) are the latest in the company's charming line of Quick Touch Border digital photo frames. Quite similar to its M820 and M1020 (pictured) counterparts in most respects, the new frames add Wi-Fi, which brings with it services like Flickr, FrameChannel and Kodak Gallery.

Unfortunately, the only way to add generic RSS feeds is by using FrameChannel, and all FrameChannel subscriptions include a monstrous banner ad across the bottom of each frame -- at least Kodak's partnership with Flickr is separate, so those subscriptions are clean. Each frame includes 512MB of storage in addition to memory card slots, and they should be out next month for $250 and $280, respectively.

Motorola Announces 5-Megapixel, Wi-Fi-Enabled Camera Phone

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 24th 2008 at 2:14PM


Hints of Motorola's new MOTOZINE series of devices have gone back as far as last year, but yesterday marked the first time that Moto's officially spilled any beans on the goods. The headlining feature on the first model, the ZN5 candybar, lies on the backside: a 5-megapixel sensor courtesy of a partnership with Kodak, featuring autofocus, a xenon flash, image stitching, and on-device integration with Kodak Gallery.

Otherwise, you get Wi-Fi (score), Motorola's so-called "ModeShift" technology for morphing the keypad depending on device mode (a la the E8), and a run-of-the-mill quad-band GSM radio with EDGE. China's the first country to get the hookup starting next month, but Moto expects to take the ZN5 on a world tour over the course of the remainder of the year.

Kodak's New $100 5 Megapixel Cam

by Tim Stevens, posted Jul 24th 2007 at 4:30PM

Kodak C513Kodak has been struggling coming to grips with the reduction of interest in the film industry and the massive uptake on digital cameras. Plus, they joined the digital game late despite creating their first digicam in 1975. Lately they have found some success with their EasyShare line and are planning to build on that with a new model, the C513, which will be the first to use the company's own CMOS imaging sensor. Most modern cameras rely on CCD sensors to capture images digitally while CMOS is a competing technology that does the same thing in a slightly different way.

Traditionally CMOS sensors have been cheaper than CCDs but have produced lower quality images. However, new advancements are making CMOS sensors more appealing, not only thanks to their low cost but their low energy consumption as well. Kodak's new sensor is a 5 megapixel beauty that they'll pair up with a 3x lens in the C513 and sell it for less than $99 when it becomes available in August.

Flickr-Proof Yourself

by Tom Conlon, posted Apr 27th 2007 at 7:00AM


How often does this happen to you? You wake up after a long night of hard, hard drinking. Head hurts, you smell like a landfill and the guy from 'Memento' could do a better job than you of remembering what happened last night.

You show up to work, check e-mail and find that a snap-happy friend has gone ahead and posted embarrassing -- and quite possibly criminal -- pictures of last night's antics onto one of those photo-sharing sites, such as Flickr, Kodak EasyShare Gallery or Snapfish.

Take back the night!

FlickrBlockers are a pair of gag glasses mounted with one of those big black bars that covers your eyes, which protects your anonymity and helps avoid predicaments like this one that you find yourself in all too often. The glasses (which you can actually see through) sell for $9.99 a pop, plus another $2 for shipping.
