The KODAK Wi-Fi card will be available this June for US$99 (MSRP). After inserting the Wi-Fi (802.11b) card into the Printer Dock Plus, pictures from a docked EASYSHARE digital camera can be transferred effortlessly to a computer on the home network for immediate viewing, sharing and printing. In addition, the Printer Dock Plus can then act as a wireless picture printer for WiFi-enabled devices such as desktops, laptops, and even the new KODAK EASYSHARE-ONE digital camera."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/kodak_photodock_plus.jpg" /> <br /><br />There seems to be a plethora of WiFi announcements this year at CES. I've never been a fan of camera docks, but having a dock and WiFi integrated into a printer is a great idea. 802.11b seems slow and the card is expensive, but in time I think most printers will have these features at almost no extra cost.
