CES 2008 Frees Your Photos from the Camera

We just concluded the Last Gadget Standing competition, and it was a hoot.
Ten finalists competed to see which gadget could stand the test of time, while the audience voted for their favorite. Though all of the finalists were winners in their own right, there could be only one champ. And the winner is...
The Eye-Fi Card. Startup company Eye-Fi, which makes an SD card with a wireless chip on it, is offically The Last Gadget Standing. Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi, demonstrated to a packed house.
Holove had a colleague shooting photos of The Last Gadget audience while he made introductory comments. By the time Holove was finished saying a few words, the photos were snapped, transferred wirelessly, and displayed on his PC. No one had to touch a button, link a cable, or set up a cradle. All you need to do is turn on your camera and the pictures are automatically sent through your PC's Wi-Fi connection to any of the popular photo hangouts: Facebook, Flickr, Snapfish and more. The product costs $99 and is available now.
