Christmas present ideas for the person who has everything #12

The product is bizarrely simple. It is called Eye-fi and it adds a Wifi connection to any digital camera that uses an SD memory card:

Eye-fi

From the Website:

Around Halloween of 2004, Yuval Koren attended a friend’s wedding. Countless digital photos were taken, which everyone promised to share afterwards. After all, those pictures represent the memories of a very special event. But, you know the story: it never happened. Who has the time? Who wants the hassle?

But, sometimes frustration leads to inspiration.

Soon, Yuval and a group of friends were dreaming up ways to fix this. This crew — Yuval, Berend Ozceri, Eugene Feinberg and Ziv Gillat — saw that wireless was the way to eliminate the aggravation and time requited for photo sharing.

These soon-to-be-co-founders began weekly dinner sessions, working on the right ways to take advantage of home Wi-Fi networks, figuring out how to then get photos to all the places they might be shared or printed or saved. Over the coming months, one after another they resigned from their day jobs, and Eye-Fi was born.

Now it’s Halloween 2007, three years after that friend’s wedding, and the Eye-Fi Card has launched to change the way people share and keep their memories.

Basically it works like this. You have to plug the card into your computer one time to set it up. Then, whenever you are in a wi-fi area and the card can connect, it will upload your photos to: a) your favorite photo site, b) your PC, or c) both. It is completely automatic.

You can buy Eye-fi at Amazon for $100.
