the eye-fi will send your pics to the online photo/social networking site of your choice, like flickr, facebook, etc. They interact with wi-fi routers though. Ive been in photography for along time and have used windows a million times. 94% of all existing computers run it. dual boot with linux and you got an alternative OS to mess with.

@Jeff Dennis: As the someone mentioned above, Eye-fi doesn't transfer RAW files. Only JPEGs.

if I need to quickly transfer photos from my cam to the computer, I either insert a USB cable or put the card into the reader. Both are also more versatile, because that way I can determine where the photos are going straight away. The WiFi just goes to a WiFi download folder from which you still have to compy or move the photos.

@yogibimbi:
I prefer using SanDisk's SD+USB cards, since the USB transfer rate is considerably faster than anything that uses the SD interface, whether it involves the built-in readers in my computers, or the USB transfer cable.

"However, Tsai pointed out that this particular hack only works with PCs..."

Massive fail. I've worked with commercial photogs for more than 25 years, shooting automotive OEM images for some of the largest agencies. Not one, not a single one - and these are the creme de la creme of automotive shooters - used a PC as their platform. Make it work on Mac, and they'll consider it.

Til then, keep trying.

@Hachiken: If you're a professional photographer, wouldn't you be using a WT-4a transmitter anyway?

@ripfire: Ok, I read it but I still don't know how it works as far as saving the file. Does it automatically put the file in a certain folder? Or is it preview only?

As an iphone owner, I can't help but feel a little schadenfreude over this after all the crowing by G1 owners.

@dayv: Don't feel bad when people endlessly crow about stuff and then have it thrown in their face.

It's Karma.

but but Android is the open source savior where we can install anything we please. HA. Seems like WM is the "most open" of all the Mobile OS.

@nightryder21: People scoff, but it's really seems to be true based on my experience.

So far all I've had to do is think up a task for my Winmo phone, look up the application and install it.

Aside from my GPS being locked down it's actually pretty damn COOL!

Tethering is a sore spot on most carriers, which sucks because it's the best way to get the most out of the data plan they shoved down your throat in the first place.

I myself am putting together the stuff I need to tether my i910 Omnia.

It's incredibly unfair considering WE are the ones PAYING FOR THIS!!!!
