I just met with Yuval Koren, CEO of Eye-Fi, a start-up that has created a SD card that can automatically upload images from your camera directly to the internet using a normal Wi-Fi network. Everything is self-contained on the card (SD right now, but they are working on Compact Flash version as well), including the wireless antenna. The idea is that the photos will be uploaded to a central server that then hooks into your favorite photo service, like Flickr, etc. Yuval showed me a realtime demo while we were meeting at Farley’s and it was quite impressive. Here are a few photos.
Robert Scoble met with Yuval earlier week. Here’s his initial write-up as well as a follow-up, where he goes into greater detail.
UPDATE: Eye-Fi has released their new wireless SD memory card.

great stuff. its tiring transferring 400 pics every day to my pc. I love to do it on auto mode
that is smart convergence – glad to see that some engineers really get it
hope this card will work with PDA
tired to use my pda with wifi SD and big antena deforming my designed PDA
ready to be beta tester for PDA
Wow, with all the talk about hybrid phones and everything nowadays, it makes something NEW like this SD WiFi card sound so original and innovative. First cameras, but how bout PDAs? Perhaps a mini SD card to enable VoIP for regular cell phones? This should be the new talk of the town!
i think the idea is genius but will they make a memory stick version for sony cameras??
I am writing this in 2007 and still would love to know when the eye-fi might be available for memory stick cameras such as sony??
