I see no reason why cameras can't have a bluetooth connection, so one can send pics. home to be stored on the home computer of directly to your chosen photo store. See below. By doing the above it would make digital cameras limitless in the number of photos they can take. <<Kodak Plans to Introduce Service for Digital Photos in May Boston, April 11 (Bloomberg) -- Eastman Kodak Co., the world's biggest photography company, will introduce a service in May that lets consumers send digital photos to Kodak electronically, which will then convert them into physical prints. The service, print@Kodak.com, will charge about the same as the industry average for regular processing -- about 49 cents for a four-inch by six-inch print, Kodak said. Kodak has said it must explore all services available in the evolving digital-photography industry. The new service gives Kodak another point in the online-photo process to get revenue and may also give it the ability to be a print wholesaler to other online companies seeking to sell a similar service, analysts said. ``You could co-brand with a dot-com, and Kodak remains in a wholesaler position,' said Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst Rebecca Runkle, who has an ``outperform' rating on Kodak. ``At the same time, Kodak.com itself can promote print@Kodak.' Kodak, based in Rochester, New York, has said it expects digital-related sales to increase 40 percent annually, compared with about 5 percent for conventional photography products and services. The new service comes as Kodak considers a price cut for the You've Got Pictures service it offers with America Online Inc. That service charges $5.95 to process a roll of conventional film, convert the photos into digital files and send them to consumers via e-mail accounts on America Online or on compact discs. ``I think maybe the pricing might be a little on the high side,' said Kodak Chief Executive Dan Carp in an interview. ``So, over time, you'll see us experiment with some more pricing...(and) a lot more training at the retail counter so consumers understand the benefit.' Kodak's stock, little changed in the past year, fell 5/8 to 62 1/4 in early-afternoon trading. Carp was in Boston for a digital-photography conference held by Lyra Research Inc., an imaging-industry research company.
