I am a commercial photographer who is tired of holding my camera for the client to see. Will this card transmit the jpegs to a bluetooth PDA or any knind of PDA for that matter?

when will a compact flash version be available? "

I use the PNY sd to Compact Flash adapter to use this card in my Nikon D200.

Was out at DisneyWorld this last week, watching the crew of photographers working the crowd, and found myself thinking "If this doesn't already exist, somebody better put it together real soon"...

It is a natural application for multiple un-tethered cameras under a business model with a requirement for distributed point-of-sale printouts of images being captured across a wide area, giving relatively immediate access (i.e. "immediate gratification") to clients. Has an upside of no significant consumables wasted.

Interestingly, some probability that an efficient mechanism for communicating customer-specific info (for image tracking and retrieval, invoicing, etc) could be some type of whiteboard "form" that is basically captured by the same camera and inserted into the same data queue structure as the customer's images -- obviating any need for coordinating image data with some secondary communication channel...

Nice.

My pda supports an sdio wifi card. Would it be possible to use this card to access sites like Panera using windows mobile on my pda. San Disk used to make a 256k WiFi card which was supposed to work and there are other SD cards w/o memory that work. I would really like to try this card in my pda to see if it would work.

I got to play with one of these a week ago as I know one of the BETA testers. It's very cool... while I was taking photos in the house, she watched them get uploaded to her online site (her network was WPA protected... apparently there is OSX/Windows software to setup the password/key). It also connects to public wifi spots, but only if they don't require a login (so you can't use it at Panera, for example).

She said they were planning to add video uploads at some point. I'd assume that at that point they'd also include RAW, but I'm speculating. I dunno if there will be file size limitations, but I expect there would be.

I didn't get to play with it long enough to see how drastically it affects battery life, but I was impressed enough by its convenience that I'll be getting one.

Useful weblink: http://www.eye.fi/

Says only JPEG files can be uploaded. But what about just caching to the local computer? Pros don't care about facebook and other online services -- it would just be a great way to stream to the workstation. Anyone there know? Thanks!

How about those of us that shoot in RAW? Compatible at all? I don't care about uploading to the web, but it would be awesome if I could stream straight to a workstation in the studio...

can you upload files to the card from your computer via wifi?

As long as you set up the router you wish to use, it will work. Won't connect via Starbucks, or any other free wi-fi spots, though.

Does this work over any WiFi network you happen to be able to connect to, or does it have to be through you home? I'm thinking of travel and such.
