Eye-Fi's wireless cards are awesome. They allow you to automatically beam photos to your computer over Wi-Fi, and in the absence of a wireless network, to blast them directly to any device that can connect to Wi-Fi. Toshiba's FlashAir card does the same, but can both send and receive data wirelessly. If the technology catches on and there are two compliant devices—cameras for example—in range, they'll be able to exchange data as well.
The FlashAir is a logical evolution of wireless SD. The question is what exactly would you use it for? Toshiba clearly envisions people sharing photos between cameras, but that's actually not the best idea. Pro photographers will tell you that shooting photos with multiple cameras on one card can lead to corrupt files. Wireless hard drives already exist. Perhaps these cards could be useful as more tablets with expandable memory are released. Get it here.

lol. I see what you did there. :P
ahaha great invention!
That's a pretty good piece of tech o;
I'm for this kind of tech. I'm not always in a wifi hotspot and sometimes need to transfer data without moving the card. Great post!
Interesting...with the right security on them, I'd have a slew of these things :D
You know, I think these would be really neat for quick transmission of maps and things of that nature at LAN parties or simply swapping Minecraft worlds with your buddies. I see a lot of potential for fun with these.
Looks great
Hm, I wonder how long it'll take until they're abused.
^^^ xD not very long at all
I see.... nice tech
cool idea, i also seen a sandisk card that had a built in connector flap for USB.
