Nikon Corp said on Thursday that it is looking to form ties with companies in the mobile and online spaces, in order to provide ways of sharing (and storing) photos taken with it's digital cameras.
Although no detail was given on which companies Nikon would be looking to partner with, this is obviously a first attempt at the goals referred to in their Medium Term Management Plan.
In an interview with the Nikkei business daily, Nikon's president Makoto Kimura said he was not considering expanding by buying any other camera company, but did not rule out acquiring a firm in a complementary field such as software.
It will be interesting to see where this leads - hopefully to something a little more exciting than Nikon's current picture-sharing service, My PictureTown!
