Eye-Fi, Kindle win Very Nice Awards from Good Housekeeping

EyeFi-SD-fb.jpg

Forget the mainstream: a cutting-edge gadget only truly wins when your grandmother owns one. Eye-fi, the WiFi-enabled, photo-uploadin’ SD card, just won Good Housekeeping’s “Very Innovative Products” award. Other victors include the Kindle, Wii Fit, and portobello mushrooms.

“Now when relatives ask you to e-mail photos, you have no excuse. With Eye-Fi’s Share memory card, each photo you take can be wirelessly transmitted to your PC or Mac and uploaded to an online photo site like kodakgallery.com or snapfish.com. Just change your current SD card with this Wi-Fi-enabled one, and goodbye, cables”

I love my eye-fi, but they should make them work with single wi-fi equipped computers, instead of requiring a router and an internet connection.

Roll on the “Quite Innovative Products” award and the editor-infuriating “Very Very Innovative Products” award.
