I was very excited about this card, not so much for its ability to upload photos to an online album, but for the ability to automatically transfer the pictures to my computer's hard drive using the home network.
What they don't tell you is that if you have satellite internet access (the ONLY high-speed available in my rural location) the card is USELESS because you have to connect to the Eye-Fi server in order to configure the card, and the Eye-Fi server cannot be contacted using Hughesnet (something about proxies). What's more, even if you have an alternate dial-up access, unless your wireless router allows sharing a dial-up connection, the card will still be useless because you have to be on the network that the card will be configured to use when you configure it online. It's all very badly designed, to my way of thinking. Customer service seemed unapologetic. Suggested I buy a "travel router" (for about $100), take one of my computers to a non-Hughes wireless access point, configure

I REALLY want to love the Eye-fi card... the concept is great. It is a 2GB SD memory card, with built-in wireless. So if you are in range of a wi-fi access point that you have configured the card to recognize, it will effortlessly load your pictures to the Eye-fi site, and also to the photo sharing site of your choice, AND to your computer. Great concept. The Eye-fi software that comes bundled with it is good, and compatible with Mac which is great.
The HUGE problems with this card are:
* The transfer speeds of this card are too slow to support video transfer. They SAY it will, but I can tell you it doesn't for my Panasonic TZ5 camera except on the lowest quality setting. Eye-fi refuses to publish their transfer speeds. Here is what their tech support said in response to an email from me: "We do not share the information about the Eye-Fi Card's specific read/write speeds. I can tell you that our card is on par with the speed of basic consumer SD cards on the market." Translation:

Just received my EyeFi the other night. It is amazing, I use this item in a Canon A540 and the uploads are nearly instant at the highest settings (6MP). With my set up it is safe to assume the picture is already uploaded after the 2 second picture preview on the camera.
I originally purchased one of these on an Auction site. *Never purchase one of these USED on an auction site. The item I received was still locked with the previous users email address and no way to recover. the EyeFi customer service is Amazing! any question they will answer and the turn around is sometimes less than a day. Without the MAC address, which is only accessible after logging into the card it was totally locked... now I'm still waiting for the auctioneer to return my money. Amazon's service was amazing. I received the item fast and it was Brand New and I was up and running in only a few moments.
It doesn't take much to set up the card. If you set up your own home wireless router it is even easier. I limit MAC
