Envious of the many new WiFi compact cameras, such as the Nikon Coolpix P1, that are starting to sprout? If your camera uses SD flash cards as its memory medium, you’re in luck. Eye.Fi aims to bring WiFi capability to any SD flash-supporting cameras with their revolutionary WiFi-enabled SD flash cards.

The difference between Eye.Fi and similar existing products lies in its size; the Eye.Fi is exactly the size of a typical SD flash card. What this results in, is the ability to use it in cameras, which was previously impossible/awkward due to the WiFi module protruding out.

With WiFi, you could wirelessly transmit photos to your favorite photo-sharing website such as Flickr. It might also be possible to set it up in a way so any new photos are automatically transmitted as soon as the camera is turned on within a WiFi hotspot’s range. So if you sit inside a hotspot zone, your memory card effectively becomes a simple buffer between your camera and the photo-sharing site. But until the product gets its actual release, we can only guess at the possibilities, camera compatibility and limitations of internet bandwidth.

The initial release is expected to be a 1GB SD flash card that’ll cost around $100 to $150.
