This seems like a pretty good deal if you're considering getting one of the Eye-Fi cards. Now they just need to launch this gDrive service, or whatever they're going to call it, so the space can be used effectively.

They sell the cards on amazon for about $60. So for $10 more, you don't have to worry about the $50 disk fee autorenewing. Just a heads up.

I've seen that card offered for about half of that.

Agreed - and I bought a few at that lower price too. Depends on whether you place any value on the storage space.

Where did you find these deals? I've been looking at one for awhile and amazon seems to be the best so far..

I use the Slickdeals RSS feed. I think the offer was from Dell, of all places...

What do you think of it? I've been reluctant on it.

I'm still undecided - I think having to use Picasa to upload content is a bit cumbersome, but it is useful as a place to back up photos. What I'd really like to see is the ability to use it as a shared network drive, with technology similar to what Riverbed use on their client to make the performance useable. Not beyond belief that they will get to this point soon...

I've only been interested in uploading to my machine, not the internet. I've never uploaded any image from the camera--I always crop them first. Reality rarely is shaped exactly like the image frame.

One version of the card will upload to a folder on your PC/mac. It'll log into a share on your PC on your home network. Check out the eye-fi website and look at the different versions.
