Ever drooled over an SD card?

I never have till now. Introducing the Eye-Fi Wireless 2GB SD Card. An SD card with WiFi? Heck yeah! This is brilliance. Let me lay it out for you step by step.

1) You stick the 2GB card into your digital camera.
2) You take a whole bunch of digital photos.
3) While you find other things to take pictures of, the SD card connects to your network and sends your photos to your computer or the photo sharing site of your choice.
4) Shampoo

What’s missing from that process? Namely getting out the SD card, finding the SD card reader, plugging it in and hoping that your OS finds the card, navigating to the folder that holds your images, copying the images to your computer, and FINALLY uploading your images to your site of choice (mine would be Flickr).

This is perfect for lazy people (like me), wives (nothing personal honey, but I *do* wind up uploading all of our pictures), parents (who just don’t seem to understand why online is so much better than a printout), teachers (who never remember how or where to save their images), kids (who try to jam the camera into the DVD slot) and anyone else that seems to have difficulty with the process.

I’m in love. And it’s pretty darn cheap, only $99 bucks. Considering that it’s a 2gb card with a full WiFi radio and built in antennae and all, I think it’s a darn good deal. Learn more from the EyeFi website, or Paul Stamatiou has a great review of it.

So, does it have it’s own “mac address”?

That is really amazing that they have an SD card that can do that with! It’s neat to think that you don’t have to upload pictures anymore they just transfer straight from your card to your email.
