Eye-Fi to Combine Wifi, Flash Memory
The one thing I wish my digital camera had was wifi so that I could auto-upload photos without the extra hassle of connecting the camera or memory card to a computer. There are cameras being released now that have this capability. However, min doesn't.
Eye-Fi is tackling the problem from a different perspective. They're building wifi directly into the flash storage. Their first product will be a 1GB SD card with built in Wifi. For about the same price as a 1 GB flash card sells for today - $100. You'll be able to upload photos, or whatever, directly from your device to a computer using the built in storage wifi capabilities.
be available, but they have working prototypes. If Eye-Fi owns the intellectual property around this, look for them to license the technology to flash memory producers. I will buy this the second it becomes available.
