    I think this will drain battery in a matter of minutes.

    Cost too much. I brought an 4gb version from Dell for $30 plus tax last month. You can also get the 4gb version for free if you get an 200gb storage at picasa for $50 - 1 year subscription.

    Here what I'd like to know? If you take pic's in the wireless network area and the camera is already establish to the wireless connection/PC, if you shoot a picture does it just automatically send the pictures to the PC?

    I mean if I have to stop and fiddle in the menu to say transfer these now I don't see it as a big deal. I'd rather go back sit down plug in a cable and almost assuredly transfer then faster. If you can shoot several pic's (and you can shoot while it's sending) then sit down and you've got them on the PC that would be a nice way to speed things up I suppose.

    Yes-the transfers work without intervention. As long as the camera is powered on in the wireless network and the specified server PC is also on, new pictures on the camera will be detected and automatically transferred.

    I have heard stories of people having these auto upload to Picasa or a similar service. The camera gets stolen and suddenly, their missing photos and some new photos start automatically appearing on the site. New photos are of the thieves and their friends. They call the cops to show them, cops either know the perps in the pics or where they were and they recover the camera and bust the thieves!

    There was a lady who had her camera stolen with one of these in it. The theif took some photos and inadvertantly uploaded them when he walked by a hotspot. Later they caught the guy using the photos!

    I wonder if it can also transfer the video from a DV? I know it will drain the battery, but just a option. It would be nice if it can auto upload video/picture to facebook.

    those stories are bullcrap - you have to setup the card online with wireless before hand.

    The geotagging only works if you are near a wifi hotspot and if the router has not moved since the last update or you will get the wrong location. It uses wifi not gps sat signals. Only a few of the cards support geotagging anyways.

    Check the website before buying. Some dont support raw image files and wont upload videos and you camera may not be listed as supported anyways.

    Think and research before you spend the $40 on a 2gb card. Its a neat ideal for wireless uploads but not for everyone.

    what flavor of wifi is this?
    a,b,g or n?
    would this work as a wireless dongle to add wireless to a computer, or does it only send the photos and videos on the card?

    #14, no it won't work as a wifi adapter for a computer, and it's not likely to be 11n, probably 11b, maybe 11g (too lazy to check, how about you?).
