From our front-page news:
If you own a digital camera, and there is little doubt that you do, then you well realize how much of an arduous chore it is to find the USB cable in order to milk the pictures onto your computer. That's where Eye-Fi's SD card would come in handy.
Though it retains the same form-factor as a normal SD card, it features an embedded WiFi chip which will allow offloading of all the images to your PC... wirelessly, with the help of some proprietary software. At $100, it's not cheap, but something like this has to catch on, so prices should not be so high for long.

The "Eye-Fi" is a brilliantly simple device: a flash memory card with a Wi-Fi chip inside. As long as you remain in range of your computer's network, the Eye-Fi will automatically transfer any image you snap to your computer, where it can then be uploaded to the web manually or with the Eye-Fi software. (And it would be simple to set up some automatic uploading for instant uploads as soon as you take a snapshot if you wanted a custom solution.)
