Comdex: Infra-red moves to cameras, phones
Published: 21 Nov 1997 12:23 GMT
In just a few years, IR speeds have more than quadrupled and the ports have become ubiquitous in handheld and mobile PCs. Now IrDA is targeting makers of digital cameras and even mobile phones and pagers.
The body said that Canon, Casio, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, NEC, Panasonic, Philips, Sharp and Sony are among those who plan to build IR into 1998 products and beyond.
Using an IrDA port in such devices would enable cordless downloads of camera images and contact-book beaming from PC to cellphone or pager, a spokesman said.
