Eye-Fi, makers of a wireless memory card for digital cameras, has announced a “Smart Boost” upgrade that the company says will make wireless photo uploads with the Eye-Fi Card more efficient and improve the upload experience.
At the recent Macworld Conference & Expo, Eye-Fi announces new capabilities for Mac users, including wireless photo uploads directly into iPhoto and support for Safari and Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”). The US$99.99 Eye-Fi Card allows users to wirelessly and automatically send photos directly from their digital camera to their Mac or favorite online photo sharing site using their home WiFi network.
The downloadable Mac upgrade will enable iPhoto to automatically import photos uploaded wirelessly to the Mac, eliminating a manual process and saving iPhoto users time, says Eye-Fi CEO Jef Holove. In addition to iPhoto, Eye-Fi users can upload to any one of 19 leading online photo sharing, printing, social networking or blogging sites.
The Mac upgrade will also allow Mac users to use the Safari 3 browser to access the web-based Eye-Fi Manager for managing card settings and upload preferences. And, it offers full Eye-Fi software and service compatibility with Leopard. The downloadable upgrade is free to current Eye-Fi Card users and will be included in new Eye-Fi Cards.
