Eye-Fi WiFi-enabled SD card finally shipping
It's taken well over a year (http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/eye-fi-embeds-wifi-into-your-sd-flash/) for Eye-Fi (http://www.engadget.com/tag/eye-fi/) to bring its self-titled wireless SD card to market, but on the plus side, that Benjamin now gets you 2GB (http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/eye-fis-2gb-sd-wireless-card-hits-the-fcc/) of storage -- a welcome boost for a rumored capacity that had dipped as low as 512MB. In case the past 18 months have made the details a little fuzzy, this 802.11g card requires a one-time setup on your PC before it's ready to automatically upload full resolution pics to one of 17 websites each time you turn on your camera. Even better, a backup copy is also sent to your PC, ensuring that your photos are safely archived when your favorite social network folds.
