Eye-Film – A clever application of ever-shrinking technology
Robert Scoble had a great blog entry this week on a new product in development from Eye-Fi (http://www.eye.fi). This is just such a clever combination of technology and application! The basic idea here is to combine a flash memory card with a WiFi card, so that your memory card can automatically upload images to online photo storage sites (my personal favorite is Flickr). Using this approach, any digital camera can instantly become a wireless-enabled camera. The price looks reasonable too — in the $100-$150 range for a card that normally (without wireless) sells for $60-$100. Functionality is really aimed at complete simplicity. Just come home, turn on your camera, and your photos are automagically uploaded.
I am always thrilled to see clever applications of technology make it onto the marketplace. This product is still in the early alpha stage, but with all of the attention it’s getting, I have a feeling that it will actually see it through to market. I just hope they patented this idea!
