Kind of nice: If you buy 200GB of paid Google storage for $US50, you’ll get a free 4GB Eye-Fi card. Since the card’s $US60, you could also look at as “buy an Eye-Fi card, get 200GB of Google storage.”
As if direct-to-YouTube uploading didn’t have enough potential for embarrassment, now Eye-Fi cards add the ability to send pictures directly to local FTP/FTPS server. [Crunchgear]
Geotagging photos sounds good, but it can become a laborious process to mark the source of every photo in your photo library. Now the Eye-Fi Geo will bring automatic geotagging to every photo you take.
The Gadget: Today Eye-Fi Wi-Fi-enabled SD cards have been upgraded with a 4GB Pro version with new features like support for RAW files, selective uploading and the ability to send files straight to your computer with via an ad-hoc network.
Our beloved Eye-Fis (SD cards that add Wi-Fi to any digital camera) have finally gotten the bump from their 2GB standard. Now Eye-Fi cards hold 4GB of photos and upload videos to YouTube/Flickr.
If you are unfamiliar, Eye-Fi SD cards can add Wi-Fi to any camera (and they work pretty well to boot). Now the company is announcing automatic uploading direct to YouTube.
There’s really nothing wrong with the semi-perfect Eye-Fi, other than maybe that we could use more than a piddly 2GB of SD storage when we’re away from our Wi-Fi network. To celebrate keeping the doors open for a year, Eye-Fi has announced the Eye-Fi Anniversary Edition card. It’s a limited edition version of their classic Eye-Fi, doubled in size (features like geotagging can be purchased at an additional cost). You can pick up the Anniversary Edition at Costco for $US100 or on their site for $US130. We’ll let you decide if that Costco card is worth it or not. [Eye-Fi]
Eye-Fi keeps kicking arse with their wireless SD cards, adding feed publishing capabilities through Twitter and RSS in a free software update. It was only a few weeks ago that another downloadable upgrade boosted download speeds and threw in MobileMe support, adding to an already massive list of support photo sharing sites. Owners should get an Eye-Fi Manager Software update pushed through automatically, and new customers can now find the cards on the Eye-Fi website. Note to other hardware manufacturers: DO MORE STUFF LIKE THIS. [Eye-Fi via Crave]
