Uh oh. Any chance the new iGoogle camera will be K-mount?

Quite a bit less than the $2.5 billion Kodak thinks they are worth.

This was also news overhere. I do wonder if Ricoh is going to join and if there is something to gain.

This is just for the patents. Besides, Kodak sold off the sensor division to vulture capitalists last year.
