...many respects, such features are not new this year. What makes the i700 an invention is its wireless Web-publishing capabilities. Ricoh engineers wrote custom software that resides inside the camera and allows users to correlate images with specific Web pages, then transmit them to a live website of their choice. Not only can you send photos from the road, you can also automatically display them exactly where you want them to appear on your website...

But a slew of newly aggressive players, from Canon and Ricoh to Hewlett-Packard, have done better, steadily encroaching on its once exclusive, very lucrative turf. From 1997 to 1999, Xerox's estimated share of the $1.3 billion-a-year, high-end, black-and-white production copier market in the U.S., where the real money...
