foaf: if you look at the video on www.eye.fi you'll see that the card reader is only needed to configure the card, to set a destination for photos, WLAN-settings etc.

When you're taking pictures the card itself will upload the photo's to the selected services (or just to your desktop computer) without connecting it to a computer.

foaf: i don't think you need a card reader. the card itself is the wifi adapter. i think they registered their domain in finland to get the clever http://www.eye.fi url :)

For a moment there I actually thought they had fitted a wifi adapter into an SD card with 2GBs of memory. More fool me.

The USB card reader with auto upload will appeal to technophobes, but it's just a gimick to be honest.
