Now, users of the Hotspot Access feature can upload photos and videos directly from their camera at more than 21,000 hotspots in the United States including 6,500 Starbucks coffeehouses, and Harborlink hotspots such as BP gas stations. The new product line-up is available today starting at $49.99.Įye-Fi has also more than doubled its hotspot upload locations. The “X2” family of Eye-Fi cards have faster-than-ever wireless photo and video uploads, improved performance, and virtually endless storage capacity with Endless Memory mode. All things working normally you should see the image appear on the web page.Eye-Fi Inc., makers of the world’s first wireless memory card for digital cameras, unveiled new wireless memory cards that deliver the next generation Eye-Fi experience of the award-winning Eye-Fi Pro X2. To carry this out you simply remove the card from the reader, insert it in your camera and take a photo. You're pretty much finished, all that's left is the initial upload test. Folders named by date ('November 01, 2007' for example) are created for all images uploaded on that date.

Lastly you choose the location on your computer where photos should be saved, on Windows by default this is an 'Eye-Fi' folder under your 'Pictures' (or 'My Pictures'). Alternatively you can choose to 'Add an online service later' as we did.
Next you can choose to have your photos automatically uploaded to any one of twenty online sharing sites including Phanfare, Shutterfly, Picasa, Fotki, Smugmug, Flickr, Facebook etc. Note you can associate the card with multiple access points but you need to have the card in the Eye-Fi card reader connected to a computer (with the Eye-Fi Manager software) to configure it. A couple of tests and a few seconds later and your card is connected to the wireless network and you're on to the next step. Once registered the card will automatically search for access points and you'll be able to select your access point and enter your "network password" (WEP or WPA key).

Once the Eye-Fi Manager software is installed a web page will automatically load and requires you to create an Eye-Fi account.

Installing the software and going through the new card registration process associates that card with that computer and becomes the default destination for images transmitted back.

Whether you're running Windows or Mac OS X you simply insert the reader and card bundle into a spare USB slot and install the included Eye-Fi Manager software (this should happen fairly automatically). The Eye-Fi card comes in some very nice packaging which slides open to reveal the card and its USB reader on one side and a fold-out quick start guide on the other. Retailing at $99 it's not massively expensive either. As you can see from the image above the Eye-Fi card is the same size as any other SD card but contains not just a WiFi unit but also 2 GB of flash storage (an impressive enough feat alone).
That said this isn't any ordinary SD card and it does offer something fairly unique WiFi connectivity and automated image transfer for any camera which takes SD. It's not often we review accessories, and we've never really reviewed an SD card, certainly not on its own.
