 Kodak EasyShare One digital camera
He added that the $699 camera will be available for the crucial holiday selling season and said the delay won't have any impact on Kodak's previous earnings guidance.

The encryption part of EasyShare One’s Wi-Fi module wasn’t slated to ship until October originally; this portion was necessary for WEP and WPA as well as 802.1X, which was needed to use the service over T-Mobile HotSpot locations as part of a promotion. The EasyShare One can transfer photos over Wi-Fi, but it can also browser galleries stored on Kodak’s online photo-printing service, clunkily renamed from Ofoto to Kodak EasyShare Gallery - a name only a navel-gazing marketer could love.
