Now, digital camera owners can send pictures to their home PCs or upload them to photo sharing websites through Wi-Fi. US based company, Eye-Fi is planning to launch Secure Digital memory cards with integrated Wi-Fi chips, which will allow digital camera owners to send pictures remotely through Wi-Fi to a home home PCs or to upload them to photo sharing websites.
The standard SD card size and onboard wireless functionality should allow the wireless connectivity to work with a camera and not interfere with its normal function. Users can set the photos to go directly to a PC or other location immediately, or after a photo session is complete. The card comes with 2GB storage capacity.
Eye-Fi founder and CEO Yuval Koren, said,
The focus will initially be on the home network. At $100 the price point may be a bit much, especially for the ‘home network’ market. You can get a 2GB or more actually memory card for much cheaper than $100.
The card is set to cost about $100 and its is expected to go on sale later this year. Currently, the company is negotiating with websites to allow direct uploads from cameras containing the cards.
