SanDisk to pursue an alternate marketing angle.

It appears that SanDisk will be installing self-serve, high resolution photo kiosks at strategic POS locations at affordable prices (Hello Kodak!!!) to help promote the brand name. Lexar Media, on the other hand, decided to enter an already crowded on-line photo developing market.

Aside from Kodak, I have not seen other photo kiosks around town. I believe Kodak uses a dye sub printer which gives OK results. The damn things cost $7.95 and up per page, though and there is no CF or SM slot or options for printing 4 x 6 images!!! SanDisk seems to have picked an excellent partner which will be able to provide a silver halide process and (hopefully) dedicated CF and SM slots.

I will be psyched up to walk into a mall and see the SanDisk logo on a kiosk!
