What mac? :)
That's what I first thought, with that Dell monitor. Kind of like when the word GREEN is spelled with red lettering and people think it says red at first. Nice rig, though, and I like my Dell monitor (which I have hooked to my Linux PC right now).

So I am out and about taking pictures. It will find available wifi signals and send the pics to the site automatically as long as it can find wifi access?
masto
Not exactly. I wasn't clear on that at all: you have to configure its wireless networks explicitly. You can add multiple networks and it will use any of them that it can find, but it will not automatically join new networks, even if they're open.
So most likely, it doesn't send the pictures until you get home.

How much was this thing and how much memory does it have?
PixelHead
Don't they have 2 gigs of memory, and cost a bit over $100?
masto
$99, 2GB. Got mine from Amazon. http://sod.org/g?E2D6

We've briefly talked about this. Video is a whole other beast, but, yes - I too would love to see that.

This is really great. I've actually wanted one for a while... now I'm thinking I'l NEED one soon. ;)

It supports the usual WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption with pre-shared keys, and I don't know what the limit is on wireless network profiles.

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at the Eye-Fi cards and they are pretty cheap. My only question is are you able to do something with videos also or is it just for photos at this point?
masto
I think I mentioned that at the end. It doesn't do anything with videos. Nothing stops you from recording them, you just have to get them on your computer the old-fashioned way. For now.
