Must have geek gadget: Wireless SD card

This just might be the coolest new product I’ve seen this year. This Wireless 2GB SD Memory card from Eye-Fi is a casual photographers dream. Rather than taking the photo, downloading to your computer, resizing and THEN uploading to your photo sharing service or social networking site, this card cuts out the middle ~~man~~ men. You simply take your photos and upload wirelessly. The built in software will resize the images automatically on the fly based on your preferences. The photos are simultaneously saved to your computer in their original format.

Here are some of the technical details:

Uploads photos automatically from Eye-Fi Card inside your camera. Built-in Wi-Fi connects to your home network
Provides free and unlimited photo uploads to your computer and your favorite photo or social networking website. Photo transmission is secure and private
Supports sharing and printing websites, including Fotki, Shutterfly, dotPhoto, webshots, phanfare, Picasa Web albums, flickr, TypePad, Wal-Mart, snapfish, VOX, smugmug, facebook, photobucket, Kodak Gallery, and Sharpcast
Handles full-resolution jpeg images and intelligently re-sizes photos if limited by your chosen photo or social networking website
Fits digital cameras that use SD memory cards and offers 2 GB of memory to store photos on the card

Now, if they will just hurry up and make an XD version, I’ll own this in a heart beat!
