A place to beam your photo!
Here is confirmation that perhaps infrared capability is not as rare as we think, especially if a vendor (this one seems to be Italian) is prepared to incorporate it into a photo kiosk in a public place. I recently received a picture of a photo kiosk at Geneva Airport that has IR capability (including other normal slots for various memory cards). I guess it makes sense if you just wanted a photo from your vacation to give to your friend as you depart at the airport - for keepsakes, and to remember the good times by! In case you haven't noticed, most digital cameras have their memory slots together with the battery slot - so if you want to just pull out a quick photo to print, you have to shut down the camera completely! That makes no sense. Beaming the photo to the kiosk seems a cleaner approach. Besides it is less likely you will pick up any viruses if you did not plug your memory card into some strange slot.....(especially on holiday ;-) Anyway, if anyone has pictures of other IR examples, do send me a photo and I will report it here.
