For those of you, like myself, that love their point and shoots (shout out to my beautiful Canon G9), you will love this product. For about $100, you replace your regular 2Gig SD card with the Eye-Fi 2 gig card. Now all you need is wifi access and your photos will automatically transmit to a popular web destination of your choosing with its built-in network! The Eye-Fi supports the following sharing/social networking/printing websites: KODAK Gallery, Shutterfly, Wal-Mart, Snapfish, Photobucket, Facebook, Webshots, Picasa Web Albums, SmugMug, Flickr, Fotki, TypePad, VOX, dotPhoto, Phanfare, Sharpcast and Gallery. The card handles the full-resolution jpg photos that you have taken and re-sizes them if the website you are transmitting to has a size limit.
