Give Any Digital Camera A WiFi Upgrade

The one thing I wish my digital camera had was wifi so that I could auto-upload photos without the extra hassle of connecting the camera or memory card to a computer. Recently, a limited number of high-end digital cameras have begun to offer this capability, shipping with built-in Wi-Fi. But that doesn't do much for the 100 million or so digital cameras already out there without Internet access. TechCrunch reports this morning, however, that start-up Eye-Fi is introducing Wi-Fi-enabled flash memory cards. Thus, for the not-insubstantial price of upgrading your camera's memory (about $100), you can start sending high-resolution images from your camera directly to your website. The reactions? Says one excited TechCrunch reader, "I will not only buy it, but also buy their stock!" (Eye-Fi, alas, is privately held.) CNNMoney report 5/1/2006 Appraisal , Real Estate , Appraiser , Technology
