If you ask me it was only a matter of time until Eye-Fi and iPhone were joined together by a tiny piece of software. The application was announced at Macworld and it works quite easy. All you need is an iPhone and an Eye-Fi card to upload images straight from your iPhone to your computer or the web. Of course the application would be even more welcomed if that iPhone had a much better camera and actual card support.

The application will let you gather all your pictures from your iPhone and a digital camera and have them organized neatly into folders on a computer and to one of 25 online photo sharing and social networking websites. Geotagging is also said to be supported. All we have to do now is wait for the application to come out. And we’d really appreciate a name for it too!

Eye-Fi, a popular innovation tool that combines a SD memory card with Wi-Fi, has reached its 1 year of existence today, and to celebrate the achievement and provide something better for their current and upcoming customers, they decided to create an Anniversary Edition.

This special edition is better than the previous ones, because:

- comes with 4GB of storage capacity, the double of Explore and Home models
- it is faster in terms of memory speeds
- also has the feature to transfer photos directly from a camera to a photo sharing sites like flickr

The Eye-Fi 4GB Anniversary Edition is already available online for $130.

Eye-Fi’s wireless SD cards become better every day. Late last month, the company announced that its products would finally support uploads to Apple’s MobileMe and the AdoramaPix services, and now they have released a Manager update that has added support for RSS feeds along with Twitter integration, enabling users to let their friends know when they have uploaded new photos.

Additionally, the RSS support allows users to “publish photos in a live real-time feed via RSS to the aggregator of their choice.” Pretty darn neat.

It’s not that thieves are getting more stupid than some of them already were in the past. By stupid I mean not making an effort to earn a decent legal living of course. It’s just that technology advanced so much that it actually helps fight crime. A few weeks ago an Apple employee managed to login her MacBook remotely and identify robbers which lead to their arrest.

Here’s how technology beats thieves again: a Long Island couple in vacation in Florida, forgot their camera after having dinner in a local restaurant. Of course the two employees which found it decided to keep it. What they didn’t know was that the camera had an Eye-Fi card which conveniently connected to the first available wireless network and started transmitting pictures. The uploaded photos included the ones thieves had taken with each other.

Lucky for them the thieves were not reported to the police after returning the camera. I guess if you plan to steal something, then better get to work and check out what’s around! Technologically speaking of course.
