Nikon WiFi Camera Released
By UsaydIn January 2005 I actually wrote a topic concerning such an issue, 8 months down the line and the topic is brought up again.

The Coolpix P1 and P2 are the world’s first built-in Wi-Fi-enabled (IEEE802.11b/g) digital cameras to hit the marketplace. These groundbreaking cameras allow consumers to immediately transmit images wirelessly directly to a computer or to any PictBridge-enabled printer equipped with the optional Nikon Wireless Printer Adapter (PD-10), for wireless printing.
