Art, Its really kind of sad about Kodak. Thousands of people employed there.......pretty soon its going to be another Xerox. As long as they still have the capital and the people, they could be world-beaters if they would take their heads out of the sand and see the reality of digital photography. As I see it, conventional photography will never be completely replaced because of its permanency, but it IS going to be relegated to a distant 2nd place as the mass market moves to an electro-digital format. Perhaps in a couple of years, SNDK will buy Kodak. Regards, Knip

Sony continues to pour money into Memory Stick. Two connected digital cameras? A mobile phone and PC connection? (I would guess that a mobile phone 10 meters from a PC would be called an immobile phone.) digitalkamera.de Sony Japan has announced the development of a bluetooth module in the Memory Stick format. The interchangeable data storage medium, which looks like a strip of chewing gum, could begin a new life as a bluetooth expansion module named InfoStick. Sony’s vision of the future includes digital cameras that can communicate with each other or with a bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or computer within a range of 10 meters via the InfoStick, without the need for connection leads or even sight contact. The InfoStick weighs 4 grams; its dimensions are 21.5 x 55 x 2.8 mm and it transmits/receives data at a speed of 1 Megabit/second, working at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. The InfoStick is currently only a prototype. It should however not take very long until it reaches production stage. Help me understand this innovation. Aus
