New Wi-Fi Memory Card
filed in Photography on Oct.23, 2008
Lexar ,a provider of memory products for digital media, is giving photo buffs the opportunity to go totally wireless with the introduction of its Shoot-n-Sync™ Wi-Fi® memory card – a wireless solution for uploading digital photos to computers as well as sharing them via social networking and photo-sharing websites.
The first introductory card will be 2GB. It will be compatible with SD-compatible digital cameras, and it records and stores digital photos in a camera just like a standard memory card, but adds the time-saving convenience and simplicity of wireless uploading from camera to computer -and directly to the Internet.
With its Wi-Fi connectivity, the Lexar Shoot-n-Sync Wi-Fi memory card is a great product for a wide range of photographers from bloggers, web surfers, and social-networkers. Instead of removing the memory card from a camera, transferring it to a reader, connecting the reader, and then dragging each individual photo onto the computer, the memory card offers users a much simpler solution.
How It Works
As an Eye-Fi Connected product, the Lexar memory card features Eye-Fi technology and connects to Eye-Fi’s web service to wirelessly and automatically upload photos from a digital camera to the web and to a computer. After the brief initial installation of Eye-Fi Manager software, the card is ready to wirelessly download copies of any photos stored on it, automatically to your computer, as soon as it comes within range of your home computer’s wireless network.
The card is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems.
