Eye-Fi’s SD memory card is a handy addition to any digital camera. It’s often not cost-effective to embed typical point-and-shoot cameras with GPS receivers so you have to geotag pictures after you upload them to a computer. Eye-Fi’s SD card has embedded Wi-Fi so using Skyhook Wireless’ hotspot database, pictures you take will be automatically geotagged. All without the use of GPS.
Another handy feature for Mac users is Eye-Fi’s compatibility with Apple’s iPhoto ‘09 which heavily emphasizes placing location data on media. Any camera with the Eye-Fi card can wirelessly upload geotagged photos to iPhoto. Additionally the SD card is compatible with a bunch of online picture sharing services including Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, Evernote, and MobileMe.
The Eye-Fi cards comes in three iterations. The “Home” card comes with basic Wi-Fi and costs $79.99. The “Share” card enables online uploading for $99.99. And finally, the “Explore” card has both Wi-Fi and geotagging features, costing $129.99. All the cards hold 2 GB of data. The Explore version also includes a one year subscription to Wayport Wi-Fi network access which typically carries a $14.95 value.
