After using an Eye-Fi card for about 3 weeks, I have to say it's fantastic and highly recommended!

Observations:

1. Shouldn't have to rely on a PC or Mac to configure it (although i can see why they do, it's the lazy/easy way, c'mon be creative and do it without a PC or Mac or Linux box!)
2. The fact that none of the digicam or SLR manufacturers have this built-in (Nikon's Wifi on their point and shoots is inflexible and the WiFi transmitters on digital SLRs are overpriced and far too big) shows their analogue camera heritage. Connectivity is the most important part of digital cameras and WiFi is the easiest and most ubiquitous connectivity and should therefore be built in
3. Eye-Fi should do RAW files and video files as well
4. Can't wait for the Eye-Fi Explore, the geo version that uses Skyhook technology
5. Please can we have an Eye-Fi version for Compact Flash as well as SD Cards? I don't want to have to buy SD to flash adapters
6. I'm going to buy another Eye-Fi and a SD to CF adapter so I can use it in my Canon 20D digital SLR and upload photos no muss no fuss at public events with WiFi
7. The fact that the Eye-Fi is *still* unavailable in Canada is unacceptable

A wee bit late to the party: yesterday I received an N95-1 from Nokia Blogger Relations (thanks Andy and Comunicano and Nokia; I'd love to do a N95-3 comparison since I've already managed to run out of memory just running the web browser, something which I think is solved by the increased RAM on the N95-3).

I am enjoying the EDGE (anything's better than GPRS) and the WiFi and I have some video hijinx in mind which require a 4GB micro SD SDHC card. Anybody know where I can get this in Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond (the usual suspects: Future Shop, London Drugs, and NCIX only have 2GB micro SD cards)?

I know I can mail order but I would like instant :-) gratification. Leave a comment or call or IM me please.
