Eye-Fi, the world's first memory card with built-in WiFi, which simply allows you to upload your digital camera pics through WiFi automatically onto your PC, is now looking to cash in on the GPS craze too by introducing the Eye-Fi Explore.
The Eye-Fi Explore adds a roaming agreement, which is currently available in the US only, to upload photos to photo sharing sites via a network of 10,000 hotspots across the country. As well as this, the Explore also adding a geotagging service to add location information to each photos data. It’s not quite there with GPS but the Skyhook system integrated in the Explore and is currently featured on the iPhone, uses the nearby hotspot locations to detect the photos whereabouts. Just remember if thinking of keeping your location a secret from an overbearing ex then there is no hiding with this card!
Eye-Fi Explore will be available in the US for about $129 (£66) in June but there is no news about when it’ll be hitting the UK but for now let the US be our guinea pigs whilst we anticipate its arrival…

Sounds like a great idea especially when people are saying that the digital camera is dying a slow death because we don’t really use them anymore
