Toshiba Adds Two-Way Wi-Fi To SD Card

Posted by timothy on from the good-for-the-family-reunion dept.

judgecorp writes "Toshiba has announced an SD card with Wi-Fi. This is an advance on previous products such as the Eye-Fi Pro X2, as it allows two-way transfers over Wi-Fi. This will be a very convenient feature. It has been labelled a security worry — but most of us already have cameras with wireless connections ... called phones."

    So what's new about this? This was available 10 years ago: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tips/sandisk_SD_wifi.htm
    Or are they applying for a patent?

    This appears to be a real sd card, not just some gadget that uses the SD card slot.

    That it could be used for this, I guess it's not surprise to anyone, that you could incorporate it in a real size SD card, could be news.
