New Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless Bluetooth Digital Camera

December 2003 -- Concord Camera announced today shipment of the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless, the first 2 Megapixel Bluetooth enabled digital camera. Designed with convenience in mind, the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless transmits images to Bluetooth compatible devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and laptops as well as USB-compatible computers.

The Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless is packaged with a Bluetooth adaptor, which allows the user to transform their Windows based computer or laptop into a Bluetooth device. Just install the Bluetooth driver software and plug the Bluetooth adaptor into the USB port and the computer is ready to receive pictures from the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless. No wires or cables are necessary for transmission.

The Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless can also beam an image to most Bluetooth devices that support OBEX and are able to receive, process and display a JPEG image. With over 1,800 members in the Bluetooth consortium, the number of Bluetooth devices in the market is increasing. The Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless digital camera transmits pictures from as far away as 30 feet and no direct line of sight is necessary. It is even possible to transmit an image through office walls. The camera can detect up to seven Bluetooth devices at a time allowing the user to select the device to which to transmit.

“Our customers asked for quick and easy transfer of photos from the camera to a computer, mobile phone and PDA. Our answer is the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless. What can be quicker and simpler than a digital camera that can transmit images without cables in as little as five seconds?” commented Urs W. Stampfli, Senior Vice President and Director of Global Sales and Marketing at Concord Camera Corp.
