Photo-bloggers, amateur papparazi, and teenage girls rejoice! Eye-Fi has launched their first version of a wireless add-on for nearly any camera. This incredibly clever SD card has a built-in WiFi transmitter, capable of being programmed to submit your photos to any number of over 20 online photosharing sites. Walmart.com has it listed for $99.84, which is an incredibly great price. Don’t be fooled by the 2 gb card size, after everything is transmitted you can simply clear and start taking pictures again. Picture yourself on your next vacation not having to carry around extra SD cards everywhere you go.
As the website’s Flash montage shows, this product is designed to bring us candid shots even quicker. Facebook, Flickr, and Photobucket availability are all built-in out of the box. I hope future software updates will allow for wireless Youtube video transmissions. As advancements in cell-phone photo, video, and audio in the US has been stagnant over the past 3 years, this product has the ability to bring live photo and video blogging into highquality life.
I have one of these and it works great. The company now came out with a version that uploads both photos and videos. Its capacity is doubled to 4GB. Check it out.
