Kodak and Hyatt Encourage Vacationing Family Photographers to ''Share While You're There'' with World's First Wi-Fi Consumer Digital Camera
Kodak's Groundbreaking EASYSHARE-ONE Camera and Best-Selling Printer Dock Plus Allow Guests to Wirelessly E-Mail, Upload, Share and Print at Select Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Eastman Kodak Company and Hyatt Hotels Corporation today announced "Share While You're There" - a program that provides vacationing families the opportunity to try the first-ever consumer Wi-Fi-enabled EASYSHARE-ONE camera at select U.S. Hyatt properties.
The KODAK EASYSHARE-ONE Zoom Digital Camera is equipped with e-mail and online picture sharing, so when using the resort's T-Mobile hotspot, Hyatt guests can effortlessly share their instant memories with personal messages via e-mail and upload them to the EASYSHARE Gallery - all without a computer. An alternative to postcards that usually arrive days after the vacation is over, the EASYSHARE-ONE camera provides a real-time, personal message that says "I miss you," or "look what your missing" without the wait - any time travelers find themselves in a T-Mobile HotSpot.
"Share While You're There" debuts at thirteen Hyatt properties in early November and continues through the end of the year to coincide with the holiday travel season. Hyatt Regency Club guests - those staying on VIP floors offering premium club services with a concierge at select Hyatt hotels and resorts - may check out an EASYSHARE-ONE camera for 48 hours on a first-come, first-served basis. A designated Hyatt associate will be on site to assist with camera use and offer insights on nearby sightseeing destinations for optimal picture taking.
T-Mobile hotspot service is available in more than 6,000 public access locations, including Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. Through the "Share While You're There" program, guests will receive a list of other nearby T-Mobile HotSpots, as well as a list of ideal picture-taking locations in the area. Each Hyatt Regency Club will also house a KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Plus Series 3 - equipped with automated KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology - so guests can print real KODAK pictures wirelessly.
"'Share While You're There' is an exciting addition to the menu of family-oriented offerings at Hyatt," explains Amy Weyman, vice president of marketing for Hyatt Hotels Corporation. "By partnering with Kodak, we are able to provide our guests the opportunity to try the latest technology in digital photography, and also help them capture and share the memories that they create in and around our hotels and resorts."
"Taking pictures and sharing memories is an integral part of vacationing. Kodak is thrilled to bring the revolutionary EASYSHARE-ONE camera and highly successful Printer Dock Plus Series 3 to Hyatt guests around the country," said Phil Scott, general manager, Digital Capture, Americas Region, Digital and Film Imaging Systems, Eastman Kodak Company. "Using these two new products, guests will have an opportunity to experience the power and ease of sharing, taking, organizing and printing their vacation pictures - all while staying at a Hyatt resort."
