Eye-Fi knows that when it comes to gratification, digital photographers want it instant. Hence the latest addition to the Eye-Fi X2 range of WiFi-enabled memory cards, Eye-Fi Direct Mode, a way to funnel photos straight from your camera to a nearby tablet or smartphone rather than send it via Eye-Fi’s servers.
The update will use an Eye-Fi app on the device itself, though the company hasn’t confirmed which platforms it will be releasing software for. We’re guessing iOS – for the iPhone and iPad – as well as Android would be sensible options for the first wave of app releases.
Eye-Fi is billing Direct Mode as a way to get instant access to photos – for sharing on online galleries or via social networks like Facebook and Twitter – without having to rely on the usually lower-quality cameras fitted to smartphones. The functionality will be pushed out as a free update to Eye-Fi X2 cards later this year.

Great Images and Instant Gratification with Eye-Fi’s Direct Mode – THE Mobile Solution
New Card Technology and Eye-Fi App Enable Consumers to Get the Best of their Digital Cameras and Mobile Devices; Further Expands Eye-Fi’s Connected Ecosystem
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., January 4, 2011 — Eye-Fi Inc. (www.eye.fi), makers of the world’s first wireless memory card, today announced Direct Mode at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Leveraging a combination of new technology in Eye-Fi cards and new Eye-Fi mobile apps, Direct Mode enables consumers to bring together the imaging quality of a digital camera and the connectivity of a smartphone or tablet in an unprecedented way. This innovative solution wirelessly connects the camera to the mobile device to provide a seamless experience between the moment a memory is captured and when consumers want to browse, edit, save and share their memories.
“For anyone who has ever had to choose between taking great images with their digital camera and the instant gratification of sharing with a smartphone, Direct Mode is the answer,” said Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi. “New technology in the card combined with a free Eye-Fi app on a mobile device means consumers no longer have to compromise between rich, lifelike memories and saving or sharing those memories from anywhere.”
With Direct Mode, photos taken with your digital camera can immediately be sent to your smartphone or tablet. They can be viewed, used with myriad apps on the device, or uploaded and shared.
In addition, photos and videos can automatically and wirelessly be backed up and organized in the consumer’s private Eye-Fi View account. From there, they are accessible for viewing and sharing from any Internet connected device – regardless of which camera they were taken with.
“We have a diversity of devices we use for different purposes,” continued Holove. “Digital cameras are just plain better at taking photos and videos, especially when lighting, action, or zoom distance affect the shot. But, there’s no doubt that the apps, touch interface and always-connected nature of mobile devices are compelling. With this new technology, we are bridging the gap between the camera and mobile, bringing the best of all the devices that we own to the capture and sharing of memories.”
Eye-Fi also extends the browsing and sharing experience by providing a seamless connected imaging experience through its own ecosystem of partners – from leading digital camera makers like Canon, Nikon and Sony to 45 popular photo sharing sites like Facebook, Flickr and Picasa. The result is millions of photos and videos being effortlessly shared from cameras each month.
Direct Mode will be available as a free upgrade to all Eye-Fi X2 cards later in 2011.
To see more, Eye-Fi will be demonstrating this new capability at CES at booth #3615 in the “Living in Digital Times” section of the North Hall.
Eye-Fi has announced an update to their WiFi SD card service, Eye-Fi View, which promises straightforward web-access of content uploaded through the company’s latest Eye-Fi Manager app. Eye-Fi View basically (and optionally) uploads newly transferred images to an online gallery, where they can be viewed from any internet-connected device.
The service supports automatic update emails, too, so you can have people automatically alerted when there’s new content to be browsed. The last seven days’ worth of photos is free to view, though if you want longer it’ll cost you: £3.99 a month or £39.99 a year.
There’s also a new send-by-email feature – free for all users – which keeps an address book in the Eye-Fi system and allows for easier sending through old-fashioned means. You can download the latest version of Eye-Fi Manager here.
Press Release:
VIEW AND SHARE DIGITAL MEMORIES ANYWHERE, ANYTIME WITH EYE-FI VIEW
New system and email feature lets people quickly show off and share content on multiple devices
London, UK, 28 October 2010 — Eye-Fi Inc. (www.eye.fi), best known as makers of the world’s first wireless memory card, today launches Eye-Fi View, giving consumers a new way to access their photos and videos from virtually any computer or mobile device. Along with Eye-Fi View, Eye-Fi also introduced a new email-sharing feature, allowing direct, private sharing of full-resolution images without clogging inboxes or requiring viewers to login.
“When we released the first Eye-Fi card three years ago, we solved the fundamental problem of getting pictures off the camera and onto computers and online sharing sites. As we enter the biggest photo-sharing season of the year – Halloween to Christmas – we’re delivering an even easier way for people to view and share photos from any device, with more control than ever,” said Jef Holove, president and CEO of Eye-Fi. “Photos and videos of the kids dressing up for Halloween or in the school nativity play can be easily emailed to grandma and shown off on dad’s iPad.”
When it comes to photography, viewing the images is the point, and more devices – from netbooks to smartphones to tablets – create more ways consumers want to view and show their memories. With Eye-Fi View, this content is now accessible from virtually any Internet connected device and can be viewed and shared at home, at the office or on the road.
Whether selecting certain photos to share on public sites, like Facebook or Flickr, or privately sharing several images or full albums with trusted email contacts, Eye-Fi makes it easy. By simply logging into their Eye-Fi account from any device, users can view photos, publish them on the web or share them via email.
“There are many sites on which pictures and videos can be shared. But even in this age of social media, email remains the most popular method of sharing among consumers,” added Holove. “With our unique approach to email sharing, Eye-Fi is extending its ease of use capabilities to customers who want to email their photos. Because, put simply, photos are created to view.”
With Eye-Fi’s email feature, users select contacts from their own address book, and recipients – whether Eye-Fi users or not – can easily download full-resolution images through a single link, without worrying about overwhelming their inbox.
Pricing and Availability
With the latest Eye-Fi Center release, Eye-Fi X2 card users can automatically send content to their Eye-Fi View. Access to content uploaded within the last seven days is always free. Upgrade to Eye-Fi Premium to maintain access to an unlimited amount of content for only £3.99 a month or £39.99 a year. All Eye-Fi users can take advantage of the new email sharing feature.
Eye-Fi products are now available at Jessops, selected John Lewis stores, Best Buy, PC World & Currys Megastores, Apple stores and online at Amazon.co.uk and WarehouseExpress.com. For more information, visit www.eye.fi.
Toshiba are looking to bring the wireless camera storage fight to Eye-Fi’s door, with the announcement that they’re setting up the “Standard Promotion Forum for Memory Cards Embedding Wireless LAN”. A collaboration with Trek 2000, the SPFMCEWL group would promote a standardized WiFi-enabled SDHC card that would communicate with the camera with cross-manufacturer consistency, wirelessly transferring its 8GB of storage to remote servers or directly to other cameras.
As with the latest Eye-Fi cards, the Toshiba technology would support both JPEG and RAW images, and they reckon their more advanced individual control over which imags were transferred “minimizes power consumption compared with [the] current solution.” Best of all, the rather unwieldy name is only a temporary thing and likely to change – we’d like to proffer RAWsquirt as an alternative – as more companies (hopefully) jump on board.
Toshiba and Trek Establish Forum to Promote SD Cards Embedding Wireless Communication Functions
Tokyo—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO-6502) today announced the launch of an industry forum to promote a new SD card that integrates Wi-Fi wireless communication with data storage capabilities. The forum, the “Standard Promotion Forum for Memory Cards Embedding Wireless LAN”* has been founded by Toshiba and Singapore-based Trek 2000 International Ltd..
In recent years, as digital cameras have achieved huge rates of market penetration, the need for quick and easy way to share photographs has grown. The new card offers an innovative solution that brings new capabilities to the already very popular SDHC format.
The card is designed to bring Wi-Fi functionality to digital still cameras that have an SDHC slot. Once in a camera, a card can recognize and communicate with the same type of card in another camera (on a one-to-one basis), and users can exchange photographs quickly and easily. It also allows users to upload and download photographs to and from a server without any need for a cable connection or transfers of the memory card.
The new card is compliant with the SD memory card standard, supports IEEE 802.11b/g and has an 8-gigabyte capacity. It can transfer both JPEG and RAW images, the two most widely used digital formats.
Toshiba and Trek will invite the participation of digital camera manufacturers and other interested parties in promoting the card, and in exchanges of technical information toward establishing standard specifications and expanding the use of the card.
Toshiba is a market leader in the development and manufacture of NAND flash memory, which is indispensable for today’s personal digital devices. The company seeks to enhance and expand its memory business by proposing new applications for NAND flash memories.
Features of SD card embedding wireless communication functions
1. The ability to send and receive image data among digital still cameras equipped with an SDHC slot and the card.
2. Upload and downloads of digital photographs between a digital still camera equipped with an SDHC slot and the card, and in a Wi-Fi environment, and a server.
3. User management of image transmission and reception minimizes power consumption compared with current solution.
Card key specifications
Wireless LAN Standard: IEEE 802.11 b/g
SD card capacity: 8-gigabytes
Applicable formats: JPEG, RAW
Outline of The Forum
Name: Standard Promotion Forum for Memory Cards Embedding Wireless LAN*
Co-Lead Companies: Toshiba Corporation and Trek 2000 International Ltd.
Established: June 29, 2010

Eye-Fi have managed to do – if not the impossible – then then unlikely: make camera storage fun. The new Eye-Fi Pro X2 is an 8GB SDHC memory card that promises to wirelessly transfer your photos and video to your home or work computer without demanding you mess with cables and card readers. It’ll also upload shots automatically to Facebook, Flickr and other online galleries, together with geotagging them, and it’ll do it faster too thanks to WiFi 802.11n and a new chipset. Still, is it worth $149.99? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
The Eye-Fi concept is simple: instead of just fitting flash memory into an SDHC card, squeeze a WiFi radio in there too, and allow the card to connect to wireless networks and instantly offload whatever photos and video you shoot. The first-gen models had a relatively small quantity of storage and WiFi b/g support; this third-gen Eye-Fi Pro X2 packs 8GB and 2.4GHz WiFi b/g/n for faster transfers. The X2 line is also the first from the company to use their new chipset, which they reckon also improves performance especially with RAW images. The Pro X2 is a class 6 card, and there are various geotagging, ad-hoc, hotspot and other options too.
Before you can use the wireless functionality, the Eye-Fi Pro X2 has to be configured to recognize whichever WiFi networks you’ll want to use. That’s a case of plugging the SDHC card into the included USB reader and installing the company’s latest Eye-Fi Manager, an app built on Adobe Air. As well as setting up networks (which can either be discovered locally, as with regular WiFi connections, or inputted manually by SSID and password should the network itself not be within range) the Manager app also allows you to set exactly what happens to images when they’re transferred.
There’s a surprising amount of flexibility here, too. You can have multiple destination computers, with video, RAW and JPEG images funnelled into different folders, as well as choose from multiple online gallery sites like Flickr and Photobucket. Finally there’s the option to upload direct to an FTP site, assuming you have the credentials. Eye-Fi Manager works both as a setup system and as a photo sharing app: you can browse and control multiple Eye-Fi cards through the one interface, as well as drag in photos from elsewhere to be uploaded to the same galleries.
Ad-hoc connectivity sounds like it should bypass the initial WiFi network setup, but actually it’s a way of directly connecting the Eye-Fi Pro X2 to your computer without a wireless router in-between. That could come in useful if you’re working away from your home or office network. We wish Eye-Fi Manager made it slightly more straightforward, though; you have to set up the host network on your laptop manually, then go through registering the new network with the SDHC card in the usual way. We had better results using a MiFi portable wireless router as intermediary.
The boost in potential WiFi speed – from b/g to b/g/n – might make a noticeable difference for direct transfers, but we didn’t see a huge change over earlier Eye-Fi cards. Still, it should help out with larger file sizes produced by high resolution DSLRs. Of course, the transfers will only be as fast as the slowest leg of your network, so you’ll need an 802.11n-capable router and computer to see the benefit. If the Eye-Fi card and your computer are on the same wireless network then the transfer is all made locally, but if they’re transferring remotely then you also need to take into account connection upload/download speeds, which will be significantly less than what the 802.11n radio is capable of.
More effective is Endless Memory, another new feature to the X2 line and one which promises to bypass concerns over running out of card storage at any point. Endless Memory optionally deletes old photos and video – once its been verified that they’ve been offloaded from the card’s memory – so that there’ll always be space for more content. You can choose the threshold at which point photos or video (starting with the oldest) is deleted, based on a percentage of remaining storage space, and it certainly works. Eye-Fi say Endless Memory verifies the safe transfer of media before it deletes, though we’re not entirely sure how this is done; it’s also worth noting that if you’ve got your card to upload directly to an online gallery, and in the process that gallery – like, say, Facebook – permanently re-sizes the shot, if Endless Memory deletes the original you’ll only ever have that re-sized version.
Geotagging, meanwhile, uses Skyhook Wireless’ WiFi hotspot triangulation system to add location data to your photo’s EXIF header, meaning that if you later view them in a location-aware app – such as iPhoto or Google Picasa – you can group images by the place at which they were taken. Since it’s not true GPS the limitation is Skyhook’s database: they quote 70-percent of the US/Canadian population, together with “70-percent of the populated areas in Germany, France and the UK.” There are also pockets of coverage in Asia, but it’s certainly not ubiquitous.
Speaking of WiFi hotspots, the Eye-Fi Pro X2 comes with a year’s worth of automatic access to AT&T’s hotspots in the US; the card will automatically connect and pick up uploading where it left off. It’s also possible to register other WiFi hotspot accounts that you may subscribe to, for instance Boingo, which promises the same seamless connectivity.
There’s undoubtedly plenty to like about taking a photo and seeing it almost instantly pop up on your computer, and it’s still hard to believe that Eye-Fi can fit all the necessary hardware into something the size of a memory card. At $149.99, the Eye-Fi Pro X2 isn’t cheap, but if you’re unlikely to need RAW image support – like, we’d imagine, most home users – then the Eye-Fi Explore X2 (at $99.99) supports everything the Pro does, bar RAW images and Ad-Hoc transfers. Even cheaper are the Connect X2 and Geo X2, at $49.99 and $69.99 respectively, each having 4GB of storage but lacking hotspot support and, for the very cheapest card, geotagging support. Most people would be satisfied with the Explore X2, but overall this latest generation of Eye-Fi card certainly impresses.
The Eye-Fi Pro X2, which debuted at the beginning of this year, offers “endless memory” by deleting pictures off of itself after wirelessly uploading them to your computer and/or online photo storage service using built-in 802.11n WiFi. Not unexpectedly, such a useful feature isn’t cheap, with the 8 gig Eye-Fi Pro X2 costing a staggering $150.
Eye-Fi has just released two more SD cards in the X2 series with the endless memory feature, the Eye-Fi Connect X2 and the Eye-Fi Explore X2. The Connect X2 holds 4 gigs of stuff (not like it matters that much with the endless memory), while the Explore X2 is 8 gigs and includes lifetime geotagging of dubious quality and a year of hotspot WiFi access. The best news is that the Connect X2 is only $50, which is way more than a regular 4 gig SD card but way less than the $150 Pro X2 or even the Explore X2, which costs $100. If you don’t have an Eye-Fi card yet, the Connect X2 is definitely the one to get. If you’re looking for justification to upgrade to the Explore X2, if you travel a lot, Eye-Fi would also like you to know that their WiFi hotspots now include Starbucks and BP gas stations.
Incidentally, at CES Eye-Fi told me that the card’s ability to delete pictures off of itself is a hardware thing, not a software thing, so it’s not something that they can add to older cards with a firmware update or something like that. Sad, but sometimes, that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
You can find Eye-Fi cards at Best Buy, Amazon.com, Adorama, and B&H among other places.
Eye-Fi’s Pro X2 WiFi-enabled memory card has only been shipping for little over a week but the company has already outed some siblings for it. The Eye-Fi Connect X2 and Eye-Fi Explore X2 have 4GB and 8GB of storage respectively, and each offer WiFi 802.11n connectivity and Class 6 performance.
The Connect X2 enables easy uploads of images and video to 25 different online gallery sites, including Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and Picasa. Meanwhile the Explore X2 packs the same gallery support as well as lifetime automatic geotagging and a year’s worth of WiFi hotspot access across over 21,000 different US sites.
Both cards will work with the recently released Eye-Fi Center management app, which replaces the company’s online setup system. The Eye-Fi Connect X2 is priced at $49.99 while the Eye-Fi Explore X2 is priced at $99.99; both are on sale now.

Users don’t even need to have their computers with them. Users can also upload through any open hotspot with no user agreement page. For a complete map of supported hotspots, please visit http://www.eye.fi/how-it-works/features/hotspot-access
Never Miss a Photo Opp with Eye-Fi’s “Endless Memory”
Eye-Fi’s new cards include the “Endless Memory” feature, which lets users choose to have Eye-Fi automatically make space available on their memory card after photos and videos are safely uploaded to the computer or Web. When the card reaches the user’s pre-determined amount of space used, it will remove files that have been safely uploaded, beginning with the oldest – even when the card is not connected to a network. If files have not yet been uploaded, Eye-Fi will not remove them. This option can be set up in Eye-Fi Center.
Eye-Fi Center – Easier Storing and Sharing on Multiple Sites
All Eye-Fi users can download the new Eye-Fi Center desktop application that makes organizing and sharing photos and videos easier. Eye-Fi Center has a redesigned interface that offers new features and is easy to use.

About Eye-Fi
Founded in 2005, Eye-Fi is dedicated to building products and services that help consumers manage, nurture and share their visual memories. Eye-Fi’s patented and patent-pending technology wirelessly and automatically uploads photos and videos from digital imaging devices, including digital cameras and the iPhone, to online, in-home and retail destinations. Headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., the company’s investors include LMS Capital, Opus Capital, Shasta Ventures and TransLink Capital. More information is available at www.eye.fi.
It’s taken them longer than expected, but hot on the heels of their Eye-Fi Pro X2 WiFi-enabled SDHC memory card comes the general release of Eye-Fi Center. Announced back at CES 2010 in January, the new app supplants the current web-app for management of one or more Eye-Fi cards together with adding in new media sharing functionality.
There are in fact two elements to the new Center, one a native app and the other an Adobe AIR app. They’re both compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.5 & 10.6). Rather than just being able to share photos saved onto the Eye-Fi card itself, Eye-Fi Center also allows you to import photos from other sources – whether your archives or non-WiFi cameras – and share them too. It’s a free download here.
How long does it take to get an 8GB memory card to the market? If you’re Eye-Fi, and the card is the WiFi 802.11n-toting Eye-Fi Pro X2, then it’s a couple of months; the company has announced that its latest wireless-enabled memory card is shipping from today, promising faster transfer speeds and improved overall performance.
According to the Eye-Fi blog, that’s all down to their new X2 engine, which bundles together a 200 MHz ARM926 processor with an MMU, dedicated flash and radio interface engines, and encryption acceleration hardware. Combined, they’re good for improved WiFi-triangulation geotagging accuracy and “Endless Memory”, Eye-Fi’s new system whereby images and video are automatically deleted from the X2 once the card has verified that they’ve been correctly uploaded to the server.
The Eye-Fi Pro X2 will also come with Eye-Fi Center, the newest version of the company’s desktop manager app for PC and Mac. Eye-Fi Center will also be available for existing Eye-Fi owners, though so far we can’t find it to download on their site. As for the Eye-Fi Pro X2, that’s available for $149.99.
Sanyo Japan have outed another new XACTI high-definition camcorder, the DMX-CG110. Capable of 1080p 60fps video capture together with 14.4-megapixel still images, the GC110 has the familiar pistol-grip form factor Sanyo have become known for, and squeezes in 16GB of onboard memory.
There’s also an SD card slot that’s happy with SDHC and SDXC memory, meaning you could add a further 64GB if your wallet can afford it. A 5x optical zoom, digital image stabilization and face detection are also onboard, together with a stereo speaker and flash. Sanyo have also fettled the CG110 to aid Eye-Fi memory card compatibility, with improved power and access point management.
Connectivity includes USB 2.0, HDMI and composite, along with an A/V output, and there’s a 2.7-inch fold-out LCD preview display. Sanyo reckon you’ll see 190 still shots or 60 minutes of Full HD recording from a single charge. No word on pricing, but the Sanyo XACTI CG110 will arrive in Japan in late April 2010, in both black and red.
Thanks to Eye-Fi and Novatel’s MiFi, we’re going to be trying out a live photo stream here on OhGizmo. As we’re walking around the show floor, we’ll be taking pictures, which are getting saved to Eye-Fi cards. The MiFi is a portable 3G router, and the Eye-Fi cards should (should!) be uploading pics through the MiFi to Flickr as soon as we take them (remember our review? It’s fast). Then, they’ll pop up here in the slide show.
We spend a lot (like, seriously, a lot) of time looking at stuff at CES, and we can’t write about all of it, so this gives you a chance to see what we’re seeing pretty much as we’re seeing it. Some of the stuff we’ll end up writing about, but if you have a question about a specific thing, just leave a comment and we can probably get you more info.
So, that’s the idea! If it doesn’t work (i.e. the pics don’t update to new ones), it’s probably because there are about 100,000 people here all trying to use 3G at the same time, not to mention the thousands of computers all spewing out wireless interference. Or, our router ran out of batteries. Also, remember that you’ll have to reload the page to see the newest stuff, since as far as I can tell the slide show doesn’t auto-update.
Oh, and special thanks to Eye-Fi and Novatel for making this sweet setup possible.
