pretty interesting technology. since no one ever knows when i've taken photos, I think I'll stick with manually uploading. :)

most cell phones have cameras these days that you can also upload to servers with. for example, if your phone has a camera and you have mms, you can send photos to facebook.

Yes I can see us converging on the day when our recorders/cameras/etc will dial-home and back-up our data on-the-fly to our servers.

So the wifi connection is built into the card? I can just sit my camera on my desk and upload? is that how this works?

I expect that using the WiFi feature will run your recorder's battery down pretty fast.
