Just to put this out there, I bought the Pro X2 card to use with my Canon 40D (with Synchrotech adapter) and the camera absolutely refuses to recognize or write to this card at all. It wants to format the card, but errors out when I try.
From that link: The Eye-Fi Card will not work in Canon 20D, 30D and 40D cameras when used with an “SD/MMC” CF adapter. Use of the newer “SD/SDHC” CF adapters appear to work with the Eye-Fi Card in these cameras.
Same here. I also found out that even if the Pro X2 did work, Eye-Fi says on its website that the Pro X2 (or any of its products) will NOT geotag RAW files. That little but critical piece of information is buried somewhere in its website.
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.

The card is going back.

Why didn't you check the compatibility list before buying it?...
@deej http://support.eye.fi/product-info/camera-compatability/compatibility/is-the-eye-fi-card-compatible-with-my-camera/
@DavidW (1) The compatibility list is not all-inclusive.
(2) My previous generation Eye-Fi card works fine on my 40D.

They then link to this article from PhotoJojo about how updating the firmware of the camera may help: http://uncut.photojojo.com//2008/06/14/eye-fi-canon-20d-30d-40d/
This still may not be a solution for you but at least it's something.
@FreeRange Yeah, been there, done all of that. Still doesn't work, unfortunately.
It seems odd to me that the folks at Eye-Fi don't cater to people with pro-level cameras. There's a lot more money to be made in the pro world.

@FreeRange
Actually, even SDHC adapters will not work with the Eye-Fi X2 cards in a Canon. I tried it myself. Eye-fi's website is misleading.
