Orlando, Fla. - A group of digital camera, camera phone and portable media player makers has announced the development of guidelines aimed at increasing interoperability between the devices. Epson, HP, IDS, Olympus, PortalPlayer and Samsung are backing the PictSync technology, which enables the transfer of digital photos between two portable devices that can capture or store images -- without the need of a computer. "Today, it can be difficult for the average consumer to transfer an image from a camera phone or digital camera to a personal media player without first transferring the image to a PC. Even then, it may not be possible because data structures, transfer protocols and synchronization policies are not followed consistently by all manufacturers," said PictSync facilitator Felix Nemirovsky. "Clearly defined interoperability guidelines using existing industry standards such as MPV, DCF, MSC, PTP and others will enable fast, easy and consistent sharing or archiving of digital photo in portable media players and other non-PC devices."
