The agreement with ARCHOS is the latest extension of Kodak’s

European launch of the KODAK EKTRA Smartphone.

develop their brand into the tablet world. We truly look forward to
putting these devices into people’s hands”, said ARCHOS CEO, Loïc
Poirier.
”We are excited to be adding ARCHOS to our portfolio of brand
licensees,” said Brian Cruz, Vice President and General Manager of

in the computer tablet sector. The French brand was the first to
introduce a GOOGLE ANDROID tablet in 2009 and is recognized as a
key player in the European tablet market with broad retail
presence.”
The KODAK tablet products will combine chic design with the
latest technologies. Apps preloaded on the tablets will provide
photo and video enthusiasts with creative options and an 8MP back
camera for catching and enjoying memories from daily life will be

favorite photos and videos in real time with family and
friends.
The KODAK tablets will be available in stores across Europe
before summer 2017.
