Hi Joe Yes, it sends everything. I think they are trying to keep the Mobi Simple. There may be more options on the Eye-fi pro but I haven't played with that one.
I may take a look at the Toshiba card when I get a little time. From what I've read and heard, the Toshiba card actually turns itself into a web server and you point a browser to it. Dale Storey has more info on that one on his blog. I don't know what plans are in store for the eye-fi card, but the support is good. I asked a couple of questions and they replied within a few hours. GS George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 2:49 PM, Joe J.
