If they're supporting geo-tagging, that means there must be a GPS receiver in there too - all within that few mm thick enclosure. This just boggles my mind. I wouldn't buy one (don't take that many photos) but it seems like a great idea, I'd love for SanDisk to acquire them and implement the technology on their mainstream cards, seems like there's so much potential for these little things.]]>May 5th 2009 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/They also charge a subscription fee to have the service of geotagging or uploading to the web.]]>May 5th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/May 5th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/
I'm trying to remember which version I have, but I can't. All I know is that it works great, I believe we have the SHARE version. It uploads to a ton of sharing sites (we use flickr) along with dumping to my PC. The only thing i wish is that the camera actually recognized that it had a wifi card in it so that it would know when to power down after transmitting the photos. As it sits now, you have to basically turn the power save mode off on your camera and leave it on. You get no feedback from the camera itself when the upload finishes. That being said, you can set the software to notify you via email/sms when the upload is complete, which is what we do.

I know that this would require some sort of cooperation from the camera makers, and much easier said than done, but it would really be nifty.]]>May 5th 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/
I wonder if GPS receivers can get shrunk down small enough to fit in an SD - that seems more the way things should go.

Or am I missing how this works?]]>May 5th 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/@ Sno Crash It's not that rare - the Wi-Fi triangulation was how the iPhone 1st gen did geotagging....
@Kip Granson - Actually the power settings is something camera makers are fixing. The Nikon D60, D90 and now a new line of Casio cameras automatically tell you when it's transmitting, and shut off automatically when it's done. ;-)
@patrick, yes, there's an app for the iPhone :-)]]>May 5th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/eye-fis-4gb-wifi-video-cards-now-with-more-options-for-internet/
Eye-Fi's certainly shown that the size of the WiFi kit is not the reason.]]>May 5th 2009 6:44PM
