On Tuesday, a company called Eye-Fi launched the Eye-Fi Card, a WiFi enabled 2GB SD card for your digital camera, that once set up to see your home (or other) wireless network, you pop it into your camera, go out and shoot photos, come home, turn on the camera and the pictures automatically go up to your photo destination site of choice and/or to your PC/MAC. It will change the way you share and print.

No cord. No hourglass. No frustration. And no photos left to sit for months on your camera instead of being emailed to Johnny’s grandma in Florida. Sounds cool, huh?! So tell us, with all of that extra time on the computer what are you going to do with your family photos?

“The big advantage of this device is that you don’t have to remember to use a cable to connect your camera to your PC when you get home from taking pictures. It’s also a great idea if you have family members who are technologically or memory-challenged. Once you set up the service, there is almost nothing for them to do other than turn on the camera.” – Fred Fishkin

“Getting your photos out of digital cameras and sharing them with friends isn’t easy. It’s especially hard for those allergic to computers. That’s why Mountain View-based Eye-Fi came up with a new kind of photo memory card that hits the market today.” – Dean Takahashi
