Camera Phone "Order Stations"

Carphone Warehouse will be launching an instant photo service in partnership with Kodak, according to the Financial Times. "Customers will be able to come into shops and upload pictures from their phones using infra-red or wireless Bluetooth connections. They can then be viewed and adjusted on the "Order Station" touch screens. As many as nine images can then be printed on a single 6" by 4" Kodak paper in around 25 seconds, for £1 a print."
