Engadget reports on Eye-Fi which hopes to release WiFi enabled SD cards for digital cameras. The cool part is that you won’t need to do anything to your camera if it is certified (list not currently published). The card will also fit in your camera without sticking out as previous SD / WiFI cards have done on PDAs…
While this is interesting (OK and pretty cool) it got me thinking why WiFi… why not bluetooth instead. If you are out and about, you could upload to photo services on the go from your camera through the cellphone in your pocket. Locally, I don’t actually see the advantage of wireless (which will drain battery life) over a card reader for downloading my pictures to a computer. It’s not exactly difficult to upload to Flickr from iPhoto or Aperture for example and I’m going to want to get things to my computer anyway.
