The Wi-Pics WiFi attachment for digital cameras

Missed this first time around, but Rob Galbraith checks out Wi-Pics,
a prototype of a WiFi attachment that fits into the CompactFlash slot of a digital camera so you can beam photos to a PC over a wireless network (support for doing it over the Internet is coming). The only problem is that most digital cameras weren't designed to operate with a cable running out of their memory card slot, and a few won't even power-on unless the lid to the slot is closed. There's also talk of a version that has a 40GB hard drive built-in (so you'll almost never run out of storage space) and a high-end model with a bar code scanner so you could conceivably associate specific photos with specific subjects just by swiping a card. We're still a bit off from seeing these in stores, but the basic unit will supposedly go for about $1,600 when it comes out. If you can't wait, there's already a camera with a WiFi attachment on the market, Nikon's D2 digital SLR.
