”Dealzmodo: Eye-Fi Home for $60
When the Eye-Fi hit last year, we loved it, but the price was $100. Now as Eye-Fi has complicated their line a bit, prices are coming down in a major way. The Eye-Fi Home (which allows you to upload your digital camera shots to your PC over your home network) is going for just $60. The price reduction may be permanent, as it's available at a few different vendors, but our link scores you free shipping, too. [Buydig via CNET]Eye-Fi Doubles Speeds, Adds MobileMe
Eye-Fi just made a series of announcements that will please existing users. By October 5, their cards, new and old, will receive a firmware update to double photo upload speeds on all models. Also, MobileMe was added to the list of supported services and those interested in advanced functions like geotagging will be able to buy the options in an á la cart subscription menu. Good stuff—read on for the full release. More »Eye-Fi Share Gets Lexar Branding
That Eye-Fi technology we were so gung ho about a few months back, the one which adds Wi-Fi to any digital camera, has found a new home in Lexar. The memory card giant is churning out a 2GB Shoot-n-Sync WiFi SD card that works exactly the same as the Eye-Fi Share. But with the Lexar branding, I guess these cards will be guaranteed a much larger audience. They'll be available in October for $99. More »Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card Helps Catch Dumb Thieves
That Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD memory card isn't just useful for uploading pictures automatically whenever there's a hotspot in range, it's also useful for catching thieves. Not all thieves, however, just ones stupid enough to take pictures of themselves using a camera they stole that has an Eye-Fi inserted. This brilliant guy made off with $1000+ worth of Alison's camera equipment while she was on vacation, only to be caught when Alison saw her pictures—plus some that didn't belong to her—being uploaded onto her machine. Thankfully none of those pictures were of the thief "using" her toothbrush, if you know what we mean. And we think you do.Eye-Fi Announces Explore, Share and Home Models
Not so long ago we reviewed the Eye-Fi, a 2GB SD card that adds Wi-Fi to any digital camera. Now the company is expanding their product line with the Eye-Fi Explore ($129), Eye-Fi Share ($99) and the Eye-Fi Home ($79). The big news? Eye-Fi is now supporting hotspots and geotagging with the Explore. More »

Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD Card Autopsied
We're not entirely sure why you'd wanna go about pulling apart the Eye-Fi wireless SD card—it's pretty obvious you're gonna find a flash chip, and hey, a Wi-Fi chip, too. But someone did anyway! The NAND flash is from Sammy, while Atheros supplied the Wi-Fi module, its 802.11b/g AR6001GL radio on a chip. For more teeny-tiny teardown porn, hit up Ikontools. [Ikontools, Thanks Mitchel]The Gadget Wars, Who Won/Lost Last Week?
Every week is a crazy, unbelievable Battle Royale between companies, PR, reporters and consumers. Like this one time, a guy at the bar was in line in front of me for the bathroom. Another guy left the bathroom, but the guy in front of me was too engrossed in some conversation he was having to step up. So I politely asked, "Hey, could I go ahead?" And then he stuck his chest out and wanted to fight.
OK, that isn't like the gadget wars at all, but let's just say I went to the bathroom without a hitch (and not in my pants).
