Other products include mobile phones (iPhone), servers (Xserve), wireless networking equipment (Airport), and publishing and multimedia software. Its FileMaker subsidiary makes database software. Kodak DESCRIPTION Kodak Imaging Network makes it easy to share digital photos. Formerly Ofoto, the company operates the Kodak EasyShare Gallery, which allows registered users to create online photo albums that friends and family members can view and download.

In addition to its US site, Kodak Imaging Network operates seven Web sites for consumers in Europe. Ofoto was started in 1999 and acquired by Eastman Kodak in 2001. It was renamed in 2005 when Kodak rebranded the online service.
