Wi:Fi:Guy

Now this is awesome. Eye-Fi. It’s a 2GB SD card for your digital camera with built-in 802.11g wi-fi. It will automatically upload your pics to any one of dozens of supported services. Flickr, Smugmug, Wal-Mart. You name it, this things supports it. Best part is, it’s all automatic. You never have to take the card out of the camera. Zip. Zoom. Gone. Plus, it even works in a CF adapter for those of us whose DSLR’s are livin’ in the stone age. At $100, you just can’t beat it. I mean, I’ve still got Christmas pics on our 1GB CF. With the Eye-Fi, they’d be online AS I WAS SHOOTING THEM! Definitely going on my want list.

Ooh, I just thought of another great use. Family members who just can’t get the hang of online photo galleries. Shooting, copying, resizing, uploading. With the Eye-Fi, you could preconfig it for their home wi-fi network, pop it in their point-and-shoot and Boom! Internet magic. Wicked! You know, my father-in-law’s birthday is coming up.
