I found this rather revolutionary. Put this memory card into your camera, and suddenly the camera is wirelessly connected and you can upload your pictures. Connected wherever there is a Wi-Fi access point.

The Eye-Fi card is a two gigabyte SD card with built-in WiFi capability. The provided Eye-Fi Manager software allows you to associate the card with wireless access points and choose to have images automatically uploaded to your computer and also any one of seventeen online photo sharing sites including Facebook, Flickr, Fotki and Picasa. Once setup you can put the card into (virtually) any camera supporting SD and have your images automatically upload.

Never mind that in reality this will probably increase the junk that’s already on Flickr et al, but the concept is pretty remarkable; the true Online Photographer has arrived.

We’ll see what the implications of this will be.
