Eye-Fi makes pretty ideas come true

The Eye-Fi wireless memory card for digital cameras is rather clever.

You can insert this memory card in any camera that works with the standard Secure Digital (SD) format and the card can transmit pictures as you take them or later over a Wi-Fi network. Pictures can be transferred to a computer on a local network, uploaded to various photo gallery and social-networking sites, or both.

The Eye-Fi is supposed to solve three related hitches that make it time-consuming to move pictures from a camera to a computer or Web site. First, there's no cable. You don't need to find a cradle, a USB slot, or the particular style of connector you need to move pictures off the camera.

Second, there's no effort involved in transferring pictures. You turn the camera on and leave it on within range of a network you've configured for the Eye-Fi, and then walk away.

Third, the company's Web servers can automatically transfer your pictures to one of 17 initially supported services with zero additional effort.
