Off beat: Eye-Fi brings OTA technology to your SLR camera

This is not really an off beat since it's about mobility and the ability to post your pictures over-the-air wherever you are. This new technology has the form of a regular SD card and a Compact Flash (Type II) adapter that brings Wifi capability to D-SLRs camera. Basically, you will be able to upload your picture to your blog or home PC or Mac directly from your camera when you're within a hotspot range. "We are currently conducting our beta program in order to get early feedback on functionality and usability from those who share our vision for the future of digital photography," wrote Shannon Segers, Community Manager, in an email to Pocket PC Mauritius. Shannon Segers also added that tests are being made on numerous "camera brands and models, and continue to aim for broad camera interoperability". Eye-Fi's website does not provide much info about their product.
