Camera giant Eastman Kodak has discontinued the PalmPix line of digital cameras that attached to Palm handhelds.
A representative of the camera giant told CNET News.com that the line of cameras, which debuted in 2000, was popular, but said Kodak is now focused on its standalone cameras. Kodak had made PalmPix cameras that attached to the Palm III series, the m100 series and the m500 series of handhelds.
Palm had heavily marketed the Kodak cameras over the years, including a big promotion during the holiday shopping season two years ago.
The handheld maker had also changed the way it designed new handhelds, in part to address concerns from Kodak and others who make handheld accessories. Until the past year, each new Palm model had a different way of connecting to a cradle and add-ons. That meant that add-on makers like Kodak had to develop a new product for each new Palm that came out.
