This could be a huge product if the Eye-Fi folks would realize the pro to semi pro market is where they would make their money, but until they allow the Wi-Fi transfer of RAW images, it's just going to be a novelty.

How do I configure it for various wireless networks? How do I let it know when to upload pictures, and when not to? I’m curious as to how it’s going to work.

I can see a laundry list of other products that could follow. What about security, can anyone within range shuffle through your pictures? What if the SD card is plugged into something other than a camera, say just a battery. Is it now a portable WiFi accesable "drive" for general purpose use. Brilliant, wish I had thought of it.
