QUOTES:

Sandra Morris, General Manager of KODAK Gallery:

• Kodak is committed to making it easy for people to do more with their pictures.
• We are thrilled to be working with Belkin on this new technology that will help people take more pictures, free their pictures from their camera phones, and easily share them with friends and family members.

Chris McGugan, Vice President of Product Management for Belkin International, Inc.:

• Currently, people taking pictures with their camera phones have to pay to send those images, and they are also compressed, making it inconvenient for them to print and share at full resolution.
• With our new Bluetooth USB Adapter with KODAK Picture Upload Technology Software, you can now wirelessly transfer full-resolution photos from your camera phone directly to your PC whenever you walk nearby.
