Eye-Fi: Add Wi-Fi to Any Camera (with SD)
30 10 2007
“The “Eye-Fi” is a brilliantly simple device: a flash memory card with a
Wi-Fi chip inside. As long as you remain in range of your computer’s
network, the Eye-Fi will automatically transfer any image you snap to
your computer, where it can then be uploaded to the web manually or
with the Eye-Fi software. (And it would be simple to set up some
automatic uploading for instant uploads as soon as you take a snapshot
if you wanted a custom solution.)
Gizmodo’s Mark Wilson has a quick hands-on
and says the Eye-Fi works “flawlessly” and doesn’t have a noticeable
drain on battery life. It’s $100 for a 2GB version, which may not be a
huge amount of flash memory, but considering it only really works as a
buffer for later uploading that should suffice. If only they had a CF
version, which would greatly simplify my Byzantine DSLR uploading rig for mobile reporting.”
