This is seriously interesting - a memory card with a built in computer and WiFi that allows you to automatically upload new images from your camera to your computer just by proximity! I want one!
n eyeFi needs to be set up before it's used in a camera. The device comes with a small USB dock, and software for Windows and Mac OS X that can configure internal settings in the card. The software mostly exists to connect you with eyeFi's Web site, where you create an account, enter Wi-Fi network settings (including passwords), and enter or sign up for any of the 17 services you may use or belong to. Various settings are then installed on the eyeFi and it's ready to go. Whenever you're within range of any of the networks you've configured, the eyeFi transfers any pictures you've taken since the last transfer. The camera isn't involved. Holove said that there are three modes that the card can work in for transfers: transfer to the host computer; transfer to eyeFi's servers directly; or transfer to eyeFi's servers and then download to the host computer.
