Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer: Store and share your memories!
BY OUR TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT
May 27, 2005: Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer is here, a gizmo to share digital pictures from the palm of your hand. Goodbye, dog-eared photo albums of yore, life is now digital.
Searching for a trendy yet affordable gift for dads and new graduates, one that they’ll actually use instead of tossing in a drawer after a week? Look no further than the new Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer, which is available at retail stores worldwide beginning this week (US$149).
This credit card-sized “digital photo album” can be slipped into a pocket or purse, but is powerful enough to hold life’s biggest memories. With the ability to internally store and show up to 150 digital pictures with its crystal-clear, 2.5-inch LCD screen, the Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer is perfect for dads who want to show off snapshots of the kids, or the graduate who wants to keep pictures of hometown family and friends close at hand. To view even more pictures, simply insert a standard SD or MMC memory card.
The Picture Viewer is an ideal companion for sharing pictures with friends while away from home. This tiny marvel can even automatically update itself with your most recent favorite snapshots -- new pictures from the beach, amusement park or family barbeque, for instance -- simply by connecting it to a personal computer.
“The Kodak Picture Viewer makes picture sharing convenient and portable, not to mention incredibly easy,” said Jeanine Thiemel, marketing manager for digital viewers at Kodak. “No longer will you be embarrassed when asked by a friend to share your latest pictures, only to pull out a handful of outdated prints from your purse or wallet.”
Kodak Picture Viewer lets people mark their favorites for printing or e-mail with the simple touch of the exclusive, red-jeweled Share button. By simply placing the viewer on a KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Series 3, pictures can be printed in as little as 90 seconds at the touch of a button. The device can also be connected directly to other printers that are IMAGELINK Print System compatible or PICTBRIDGE technology enabled.
Kodak is the leader in helping people take, share, print and view images – for memories, for information, for business, and for entertainment. Kodak had sales of $13.5 billion in 2004. It also provides customers with a range of solutions for prepress, traditional and digital printing, and document scanning and multi-vendor IT services; and Display & Components – supplying original equipment manufacturers with imaging sensors as well as intellectual property and materials for the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and LCD display industries.
