Eye-Film has introduced a new slim Wi-Fi enabled SD card, that also packs 1gb of memory.
"Previously, getting your WLAN on with an SD card required that ugly extra bulk at the end (SDIO cards), and they were designed for use on PDAs and smartphones. As such, you couldn't possibly use those cards on certain devices that had more "internal" SD slots, like digital cameras. This new innovation from Eye-Film eschews the extra bulk, and gives you high-speed WiFi in a standard SD card form.
It looks like these cards are aimed at camera users for the moment, but the company is also said to be investigating the possible use of the cards in other devices such as smartphones and PDA's. Source- Mobilemag
