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."

    We may all already have phones - but this would be invaluable for someone who takes a professional-quality image or video of say, law enforcement. Any data recorded stands a better chance of being immediately put out of reach from your average plod

      Ah, no, this is not just normal WiFi, this is two-way WiFi. With old one-way WiFi, you had to send a packet, then eject the card, turn it around, and insert it the other way around to receive the reply. With this new two-way wireless magic your card can both send and receive! It's exciting and new!
