So what does Eye-Fi have to do with fidelity?
Then again, what did Wi-Fi have to do with fidelity?
Nothing, actually. I always hated that term, WiFi.
802.11 is so much more catchy, anyways. :)
I had a friend who played the fidel.
Then again, what does Ebay have to do with baying? What does Google have to do with oogling? What does Yahoo have to do with hooing?
You have no idea how much oogling and hooing I do.
I'm pumped!
Excellent write up. Very succinct.
we have had this in my store for over a month. next.
Is it just me, or does the label on the card look like an afterthought?
It's mostly just you, but it's also in part because Lexar licensed the Eye-Fi product and put their own sticker on. The original Eye-Fi sticker meshed a little better.
That's not my point at all. Look at the press shot (link in story) then look at that card. The sticker looks professionally done in the press shot, while on the real card it's smaller, has square corners and is crooked. It almost looks like someone cut out a printout with scissors and used a glue stick to attach it as part of some kindergarten art project.
I STILL don't understand how they manage to fit memory and a WiFi module into an SD card! Its crazy!
Does the camera have to be on to transmit? Otherwise, it's only a matter of time until this is hacked, and every time you walk within range of another wireless network, there go your pictures.
Quotes:
"The 2GB card is basically just a Lexar-branded Eye-Fi Share, so you pretty much already know how it works -- you shoot, it uploads -- and it's even the same $99 price, so yeah, yawn."
End of quotes.
2GB for $99?
What's to fret about?
Did I miss something or bloggers have nothing better to do but to blabber about vaporware, or vaporwave, or whatever makes vapor?
I must have missed something. Help!
