Memory Cards

Eye-Fi just launched a new wireless memory card, the 8GB Mobile X2, which combines Eye-Fi's just released Direct Mode technology and free Eye-fi mobile apps to allow smartphone and tablet users to transfer pictures and videos from a digital camera to an Android or iOS mobile device – even when there's no wireless network available.

The new Direct Mode firmware upgrade and accompanying iOS and Android apps are now available to all Eye-Fi X2 cards. Direct Mode allows the Eye-Fi card to establish a direct connection to a mobile device by creating its own Wi-Fi network anywhere, even if it's far away from a Wi-Fi hotspot. So no matter where you are, you can send photos from your digital camera directly to the Eye-Fi app on your smartphone or tablet.

The Mobile X2 is now available at Best Buy for $79.99. Find out more information at www.eye.fi

Eye-Fi has a new Wi-Fi enabled memory card just for Mac users, the Eye-Fi Geo X2. The 4GB Geo X2 offers fast wireless photo and video uploads through an 802.11n transmitter, Class 6 read/write speeds, lifetime Geotagging service and also features an Endless Memory mode which makes space available on the card after photos/videos have been uploaded to the computer.

Mac users can wirelessly back-up both photos and videos directly into iPhoto or any other folder their computer. The Wi-Fi enabled memory card can also automatically upload photos and videos directly to MobileMe, as well as Facebook, Flickr, Picasa or YouTube.

The Eye-Fi Geo X2 includes lifetime Geotagging service using Wi-Fi positioning to automatically tag photos with location information. It works with iPhoto '09's "Places," so Mac users can search and sort photos on maps or by location name.

The Eye-Fi Geo X2 will be available in May at Apple Stores for $69.99.

Eye-Fi added two new wireless memory cards to its X2 lineup of Eye-Fi cards for digital cameras. The X2 family of Eye-Fi cards have faster wireless photo and video uploads and almost endless storage capacity, thanks to its Endless Memory mode. The new product line-up is available now starting at $49.99.

The Endless Memory feature gives you the option to automatically make space available on the memory card after content is safely uploaded to your computer. When the card reaches a pre-determined amount of space used (which you set up in the new Eye-Fi center), the uploaded files are removed– even when the card is not connected to a network. Read more
