We first looked at the Eye-Fi wireless SD flash memory card back in February, and liked its easy uploading and support for photo-sharing sites like Flickr. This week, Eye-Fi announced new partnerships with Nikon's my Picturetown, Adobe's Photoshop Express, and made its cards available at Circuit City. Here are the details.Nikon and Eye-Fi
While Nikon already supports wi-Fi wireless uploading to my Picturetown from its Coolpix S50c, S51c, and S52c, the built-in support in Eye-Fi Share and Explore cards enables users of any Nikon camera that uses SD media to transfer pictures automatically to my Picturetown.
Nikon has also worked with Eye-Fi in the design of its new D60 DSLR camera. The D60 adjusts its power levels when using an Eye-Fi card for better wireless uploading.Shoot Them and They Will Come (to Your Favorite Sites)
Eye-Fi Share and Explore cards now support Adobe Photoshop Express as well as over 20 other photo sharing sites, including Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Snapfish, Windows Live, and many others.
Easy to Use, Easier to Find
Eye-Fi Share cards are now available at Circuit City stores and the Circuit City website.
Eye-Fi by the Numbers
In our original February review, we reviewed the Eye-Fi Share card, but Eye-Fi actually make three different lines of 2GB SD cards with Wi-Fi radios:
* The entry-level Eye-Fi Home card ($79.99 MSRP) connects wirelessly to Wi-Fi-equipped home computers or the user's iPhoto account.
* The Eye-Fi Share card ($99.99 MSRP) connects wirelessly to Wi-Fi-equipped home computers or the user's choice of photo sharing websites.
* The Eye-Fi Explore card ($119.99 MSRP) adds geotags to your pictures and supports uploading from over 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots
Easy Photo Transferring and Sharing - What's It Worth to You?

Towards the latter part of 2007, a company called Eye-Fi launched the first Wi-Fi enabled memory card. The idea was to make uploading images and documents more convenient. But from a single 2GB wireless card the company has decided it’s time for more and has expanded their list of Wi-Fi Memory Cards by adding 2 more.The Eye-Fi Home is designed to be used with a home network to upload images etc to your PC’s desktop using specific software for the same. The second card called the Eye-Fi Explorer should give you a small clue as to its use. In case you aren’t sure, the Explorer is equipped with a GeoTagging feature from Skyhook. The very first Eye-fi card is of course still available.The three cards are of 2GB capacities and retail for - $129 (Rs. 5,341) for the Explorer, $99 (Rs. 4,100) for the Home and the first Eye-Fi card is still priced at $79 (Rs. 3,271). They aren’t here yet, officially, but let’s hope it doesn’t take too long.

Eye-Fi Inc. today unveiled the Eye-Fi Card – the world’s first wireless SD memory card for digital cameras. It uses home Wi-Fi networks to create a convenient way for users to send photographs directly from digicams to computers and online photo and social networking sites.
All you need to do is simply turn on your digital camera and your pictures are wirelessly uploaded. The Eye-Fi Card works with
existing and new SD-compatible digital cameras, and stores photos just like a conventional SD memory card.
During the simple setup process, users can select from among 17 popular online photo-sharing, printing, social networking, or blogging sites to publish and share their photographs, and select where on their PC or Mac they want to archive their images. Once the setup is complete, users can focus on taking pictures and sharing memories – and not on the process of uploading photos from the camera. Eye-Fi’s free upload service allows users to transfer an unlimited number of photos. It handles full-resolution JPEG pictures and intelligently resizes images if required by the selected destination.
