Eastman Kodak (News - Alert) Company has announced KODAK Imaging Technology for mobile devices. The new release combines Kodak’s experience in Imaging Science with the company’s signature ease-of-use and vast portfolio of photography products.

 

John Blake, general manager of digital capture and imaging devices group, and vice president, Eastman Kodak Company said in a statement that there are over 600 million digital images are captured each day, and more and more photos are being taken with mobile devices. He explained that KODAK Imaging Technology addresses the three main issues that frustrate consumers about these shots - poor image quality, difficulty transferring images off their mobile devices, and the inability to easily share images with family and friends.

 

Kodak will work closely with handset manufacturers and service providers, to deliver an outstanding mobile imaging experience redefining the quality, convenience and connectivity of mobile imaging devices. The company officials explain that KODAK Imaging Technology includes features developed for Kodak’s award-winning line of EASYSHARE Digital Cameras. The technology thus enables mobile devices with

comparable imaging quality to what one would expect from a consumer digital camera.

 

While the Smart Capture technology can automatically adjust and determine camera settings in any environment, KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology generates brighter, more vivid pictures. Both these capabilities help ensure the best quality for each image captured. Users can also use the technology to edit, organize, share and enjoy pictures by leveraging a seamless connection to Kodak’s vast ecosystem of products and services - KODAK EASYSHARE Software, KODAK Gallery, KODAK All-in-One Inkjet Printers, KODAK Picture Kiosks and KODAK Digital Frames.

 

Blake noted that with their new Imaging Technology, their partners can reduce research and development costs by focusing on delivering an excellent phone experience, while relying on Kodak’s imaging expertise, worldwide engineering support, and go-to-market assistance.

 

KODAK Imaging Technology provides flexibility to manufacturers as it works in conjunction with KODAK Image Sensors, as well as sensors from other manufacturers.  The company is offering many options for uploading images, enabling flexibility by geographic region and consumer plan.
