Easy to setup. Able to individually setup photos for upload to PC or Picasa (in my case). Ability on camera (Olympus TG-820) to turn off WiFi to conserve battery power. Doesn't delete photos from SD card when uploaded.
Few details on net about this product. And no demo in store to try. Ended up buying the 4GB version in case it didn't have the Good points already described.
Camera: Olympus TG-820 (eye fi compatible)
Really easy to setup. Took 1hr from start to finish, which includes:
1) Setup of Eye Fi card in Laptop:
a) Upload mode for Laptop (Windows - individual photo into new folder of my choice)
b) Upload mode for online (Picasa - individual photo into existing folder of my choice)
c) Home WiFi connection, with paste option for password. Note: Had to turn of MAC address security feature on WiFi router. Not sure of MAC address for this until, but I didn't try looking for it.
2) Take photo and select individual photo(s) for upload
3) Checking of Laptop and Picasa that photo uploaded into correct folder/album.
4) Very happy with this purchase (Note: Lens on mobile phone is broken, hence the main reason for having this feature.
Used to plug 8GB SD card ($13) straight into Laptop to copy and share photos. But this was normally once full. This method saves the hassle of doing this, should I only want to share a select few photos online (main aim), since this feature on my mobile is broken.
Does everything I need.
Good: Easy to setup.
Bad: In store price is higher than online
