Okay, well thats a good point, and I'm not saying I wouldn't ever put my pictures back onto my computer but for me, when I don't want the hassle of a DSLR (even though they can take such great pictures) I generally use a decent point and shoot. And 2gb just doesn't cover it for me. If I want to go to the mountains with my friends and take pictures (and I take alot of pictures) then I want something big enough so that I don't have to transfer them all back over to my computer half way through the weekend. And thats why Eye-fi doesn't fit my needs. First, I realized that its 2gb, not 1gb, My bad.

But if your fancy 16gb card gets stolen or damaged in anyway, all those pictures are gone. I think everyone should keep offsite copies of their pictures. You can't replace moments.

For that price I could get over a hundred (100) regular 1gb SD cards, or one (1) regular 16gb SDHC card. With 16gb I would only need to unload photos once every what, month? two months? Mebbe three months. Now THAT would save me alot of time. Last I checked it was still 100 bucks for a SINGLE gig of space.
