Nextel Adds Photo Management Services With Fujifilm's Get the Picture Mobile Service

Fuji Photo Film U.S.A. Inc., Valhalla, N.Y., USA, announced Nextel Communications Inc., Reston, Va., USA, is adding photo management that allows customers to store, share and print photos from their multimedia-messaging-enabled Nextel phones and other digital cameras. The capabilities are based on Fujifilm's Get the Picture Mobile Service.

In addition to enhancing the Nextel PhotoShare site at www.nextel.com/photoshare with greater image management tools, Fujifilm is providing an interactive phone application developed by Summus Inc., Raleigh, N.C., USA, a provider of mobile media applications. This application enables Nextel users, with multimedia-messaging-enabled phones, to access the more than 3,100 participating digital processing retail stores nationwide - including Ritz Camera, SAM'S CLUB, and Wolf Camera - and obtain prints directly from their phone in as little as an hour.

The Fujifilm Get The Picture service is available to Nextel customers directly via the phone or via the Nextel website, complementing the many applications that are already available to Nextel users. The new website allows users to upload both cameraphone and digital camera images to online albums, share with friends and family, create slide shows, and print images through retail locations. Users can also access the same album, share and order prints process directly from the eligible phones.
