Whilst reading some RSS feeds today I read about an amazing new product that is either on the market, or should be shortly, that is capable of uploading photographs to a site as you take them (as long as there is a Wi-Fi connection available). The Eye-Fi cards look like any other SD card though they actually have a Wi-Fi adapter built into them! This means once configured from a Windows PC or Mac, you're able to automatically upload pictures to a desired destination as you take them. If a Wi-Fi connection isn't available at the time it uploads them when there is one.

All Eye-Fi Cards come with everything needed to make it simple to set up and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. After that, pop the card into your digital camera and start capturing memories. It stores pictures like a regular SD card no matter where you are, and uploads automatically as soon as you return to your wireless network. All you have to do is turn the camera on.

It's not just the web it can upload to though, they will still allow your photographs to be transferred to your PC. There are 3 different versions available:

Eye-Fi Home

The cheapest of the options costs $79.99 (around £45) but does not allow transfer to sites - just to computer. Contains 2Gb of space.

Eye-Fi Share

Also has 2Gb capacity, and transfer to computer; but also unlimited WebShare services. Priced at $99.99 (around £55)

Eye-Fi Explore

This one includes unlimited Geotagging, Hotspot Access for 1 year, unlimited WebShare service, wireless Uploads to Computer, and still has 2Gb capacity. Priced at $129.99 (around £70)

At present there are only 20 different sites that are partners of their "Webshare" service - hopefully this is something that would be cool to be increased upon. Something else that would be good is support for custom settings for sending to sites using XML-RPC so that pretty much any site can accept photographs. It really does open the possibilities of blogging. Of course though, people using the iPhone can already do this!
