Eye-Fi Beta Coming Soon

Earlier I received an email from Eye-Fi about the beta phase of their products; memory cards (primarily) for digital cameras that will transfer data to your computer or a web site via Wi-Fi 802.11g.

Eye-Film Beta is an SD card, and we will provide a Compact Flash (Type-II) adapter for use in D-SLRs. We have tested the Eye-Film cards on numerous camera brands and models, and continue to aim for broad camera interoperability.

The email also states that the beta units will ship in a few weeks and through November. The beta trial is not free, of course, but the emails states, “there will be a full money-back guarantee”.

I know that other beta trials are typically free, but I am OK with paying for, at least, a memory card. If the charge for the beta trial is reasonable, I’m going to request a unit to test and detail my results here.

If you would like to be a part of this trial, I believe you can still sign up to the Eye-Fi mailing list to be notified when it begins.
