Online photo service Snapfish is partnering with Walgreens to let customers order prints online and pick them up as soon as one hour later.

Snapfish, which is owned by Hewlett-Packard, is offering the service at some Walgreens stores in Boston, New York and San Francisco, HP said Monday. With the new service, customers can order prints in various sizes, including 4 by 6 inches, 5 by 7, 8 by 10, and wallet size.

Approximately 4,000 stores are expected to be participating by September, Snapfish said.

Walgreens last month selected Snapfish to provide its own store-branded online photo service.

Other retailers that print photos that customers order online include Best Buy, CVS, Fujifilm (in conjunction with Microsoft), Target (with Yahoo), and Wal-Mart.

Also Monday, Snapfish said it is offering a feature that lets customers send images from its Web site to as many as 10 mobile phone numbers.

Photo sharing, meanwhile, is at the center of a start-up called Slide, said to be launching Monday. Slide's service will purportedly blend photo sharing, social networking, Web syndication and e-commerce to let members subscribe to one another's photo blogs.
