Hello.

 

At the meeting last week we talked about the Eye-Fi SD/WiFi cards.  I was
wrong about some of the features they have.  You can configure them to
automatically upload when they are in range of a pre configured WLAN.  There
is also a service offered by AT&T which means they can upload when you're
close to any AT&T WLAN.  Your camera does need to be on for the transfer to
happen, however the card is very opportunistic.  If you happen to be taking
pictures while anywhere close to a WLAN the card will silently do the work
in the background.  Where the pictures go is configurable, if your at home
they can go right onto your computer, if you're on the road they can go to
photo services like Flickr and a few others.

 

I was wrong about the geotagging support.  They do geotag, but they use WLAN
triangulation.  They don't use GPS like I said.  Obviously that really
limits the cards usefulness outside of urban areas.

 

Craig.
