Chris Moates’ adventures in the land of Mox

We’ve had the Eye-Fi here for several days now. I have to admit, they have user interface and initial setup for this device down cold. I was shocked at how polished and simple they made the entire process, but kudos to them for doing so.

After initial configuration, I had to “format” the card in my Canon Rebel XSi. Following that, I snapped a few pictures, and they magically made their way to Picasa, just as promised. Pretty cool.

I haven’t had time to look into the open source app that talks to the eye-fi. That’s next on my list though, as there’s a limitation to the Eye-Fi that I’d like to get around. While you can have multiple providers set up (Flickr, Picasa, etc) you can only upload to one of them at a time. I’d like to have pictures available for Maggie’s Flickr and my Picasa. I don’t even really care too much about them going online automatically, as much as having them on the server automatically. But uploading directly to the web is super handy.
