I have the pictures automatically uploaded to my Macbook Pro to a pictures folder that is shown by screen save automatically.

You can use folder actions to print any picture uploaded to a folder.

Oh I wish I was a yankie! The new CradlePoint portable 3G router /Eye Fi comb is seriously going to kick ass in the USA. Alas, I happen to live and work in the UK, so no joy here for the foreseeable future. Having been a freelance press photographer for most of my professional life, this technology is nothing short of breathtaking. With the right setup (ie: a couple of repeaters between the studio and the laptop), I can really see this working in a event/ studio working environment. Lucky for me that ebay came to the rescue and now a D-Link portable router is winging it’s way to me as I type. I’d love to see if the Cradlepoint/Eye Fi setup could work with a PDA, so that you could edit and caption your pictures before sending them on, that would really rock my work. John

I’m thinking of using EyeFi for mission related work where I take a picture and send the image through Eyefi to a laptop then gets printed automatically to a printer without out any user intervention. Is there any tool that let me do this?

Hi,

In terms of view-as-you-shoot, I’ve had a lot of success doing this with the eye-fi in a Nikon D3 with a CF adapter and some (free) software I wrote for the purpose. Less bulky than a “proper” ‘mitter, and sending small jpegs while also writing RAWs works brilliantly.

The software can be downloaded from http://www.ikontools.com/

Sorry Ryan, if you delete a photo off your computer or a photo-sharing site online, it won’t delete the photo from the Eye-Fi card. To do so, you must either connect the card thru a SD reader and delete the photos, or delete the photos using in-camera functions. Great card though, just not sure if I’ll use it traveling to Europe this Summer, as it may use more battery power to juice up the built-in antenna vs. a card without an active antenna. Haven’t figured out how to “stop” the antenna from operating and use it as a regular SD card yet. For now, I’ll just use my power-save functions on the camera to minimize card-access time and save battery power.

I want to use this in my PPC (Dell Axim) as memory and LAN connectivity – will it work for that?

A new 3G router from CradlePoint will be shipping on December 20th that has a rechargeable battery. With this router, an EyeFi card can send files over the Verizon EVDO network, without the need of a computer or even a power outlet.

Read our new article about the PHS300 and EyeFi card here:

The CradlePoint PHS300 will initially be available only through the EVDO Experts at http://3GStore.com

Hi there – if you delete an image from the camera – will it delete the file on the computer? cheers

Can this be used as a repeater?
~~~~ = wifi
—- = cable
I want to go eye.fi~~~~>Wifi router/repeater in pocket~~~~>wifi router connected to net.
I So router in pocket connects to wifi nearby acting as a repeater.

The manual for Client Mode states
Laptop —> DWL-730P~~~~> wifi router

If i get 5mbps or 10mbps in areas on my laptop do you think the eye.fi will be powerful enough?
