If uploading digital photos to computer or photo sharing services like Flickr or Snapfish is hassle for you! There is good news for you! Eye-Fi Inc., a California-based company today unveiled the Eye-Fi Card, the first SD memory card for digital cameras that uses Wi-Fi networks to send photographs directly from digital cameras to PCs, Macs and online photo and social networking sites.

The Eye-Fi Card does not need cables, card readers or software plug-ins which are often required for uploading photos. Users simply turn on their camera and the pictures are wirelessly uploaded. The card is equipped with software that automatically starts the upload process as soon as your camera is in range of a Wi-Fi network. However, It has a range of 90 feet outdoors and 45 feet indoors.
