I first heard about this service on SparkFun’s blog.

Dropbox has a very simple concept: it allows you to seamlessly share files with many computers and users. It’s easier to use than a USB key. Installation is a breeze; the software works integrates with windows and the web interface (when you need it) is extremely easy to navigate!

You get 2GB worth of free space – which is very handy if you want to send files to friends or move them from one PC to another.

No more emailing files, spreadsheets, documents, photos, pcb designs etc to myself!

I installed it on my machines and recommended it to my friends – every machine should have this gem installed!

This is an  SD card with a twist: it also has Wi-Fi which means that, if you use it with a digital camera, it allows you to send photos you’ve just captured on Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, email them or simply back them up online.

Sounds like a simple & great idea.

Amazon is selling the Eye-Fi Pro 4GB cards  for about £120 in the UK. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002RL9ALU/

There is a slightly cheaper model, Eye-Fi Share Video, which is also on Amazon for about £70.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RL9ALK

It would be interesting to see if this ends up in an Arduino shield at some point. In the mean time, the best Wi-Fi solution for the arduinos seems to be the WiShield.
