The editors didn't like
Does not keep camera awake automatically for upload
No local upload history in software yet
SD cards notoriously easy to lose
It can be a drain on your cameras battery.
Cannot use at public hotspots
Only supports JPEG files (and not videos). No inuse status feedback. Can’t use adhoc mode. Doesn’t send images to FTP
Email
Or .Mac. Can’t be configured with a manual IP address.
Limited signal strength
Options
And appeal
Users must be within 90 feet of a hotspot to geotag photos
Some partner sharing sites have flawed geotagging capabilities
Public uploading unreliable
2GB limit
Slow transfer speed
Short wireless range
Somewhat expensive. Geotagging results arent always spot-on. Hot-spot access is free for only one year.
Doesn’t work over public Wi-Fi
Much slower than a USB transfer
Not all photo-sharing sites allow you to adjust privacy settings through Eye-Fi Manager
Pricey compared to other 2GB SD cards.
Autolaunching software and uploads to computer are annoying
If killable. Not compatible with several common browsers. No automatic connection to open WiFi networks means you still have to lug your laptop around like some sort of gruesome Neanderthal

Abstract: Anyone that owns a digital camera knows how boring it can be when you have shot a memory card full of pictures and then you need to stop to find either the USB connector cable or try and find your card reader that you absent-mindedly forgot at brother-in-laws birthday party. What if you could send your pictures to computer via WiFi, oh you say your ...

Abstract: It’s not often that an SD memory card comes out and creates a ton of fanfare. When that SD card has integrated Wi-Fi abilities to immediately upload your photos, then you start to understand why all the buzz is justified. I am of course referring to...
