That information was available early this summer, but the camera didn't
make its projected release date. Wi-Fi would be a real convenience.

Well, in my case, the hassle of bringing the camera to the computer, and
connecting it to the dock, or removing the SD card is completely eliminated.

Lets people upload and share-on-web photos with nothing but their camera
and a coffee-shop hotspot. I can see how that could be a P&S selling
point; if nothing else, it makes a great bullet point to put on the
packaging.

Can you now ftp and/or email directly from the camera without some special
client software on the other end?

Email for sure. Don't know about FTP.

Greetings,

I have not been around for a while due to vacations and business.

I did get a couple of hours use with the new EasyShare One camera. It
is a full WiFi camera and it can be used to transfer images up to the
net, i.e. EasyShare Gallery or other, print directly to printers that
are WiFi enabled, Email to those people you have in the cameras address
book, and more. Very impressive and a lot of fun.

Yes, I read the NY Times article too, however, other cameras only
communicate with the PC for downloading. No email, printing, etc. It is
only the beginning, there is a lot more to come, so hang on to your
seats the ride is just starting.

Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company
