Eye-Fi

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

The 2011 Consumer Electronics Show ramps up on Thursday but (as usual) many companies are already releasing information on new products and technologies hitting the marketplace later this year. Such is the case with Eye-Fi; they just announced Direct Mode - a combination of new technology in Eye-Fi cards and new Eye-Fi mobile apps which wirelessly connects the camera to a mobile device so that photos taken with your digital camera can immediately be sent to your smartphone or tablet. Photos can be viewed, used with apps on the device, or uploaded and shared.

Also, photos and videos can automatically and wirelessly be backed up and organized in a private Eye-Fi View account, where they are accessible for viewing and sharing from any Internet connected device – regardless of which camera they were taken with. Read more

By now you should be familiar with Eye-Fi, the company that developed the first wireless memory cards. Now they have launched Eye-Fi View, a service that gives you full access to all of your photos and videos from any Internet connected device. The company also announced a new email-sharing feature which allows you to share full-resolution images with friends without clogging up their inbox or requiring viewers to login.

With Eye-Fi View, you can take a picture on your smartphone or digital camera — and then send some to Facebook, keep some private, and share others with friends via email. All you have to do is log into your Eye-Fi account from any Internet connected device to view your photos, publish them on the web, or share them via email. With the new email feature, recipients can download full resolution images with just a single click – even if they aren't Eye-Fi users.Read more
