Eye-Fi has launched the Pro X2 16GB, its largest Wi-Fi SD card, and its fastest yet. The Pro X2 retains all the existing capabilities of the existing 8GB version, including upload to a smartphone, direct connection to a Wi-Fi network, auto backup and Raw file transfer. Despite the capacity and speed hike (the previous version was rated as Class 6), the Eye-Fi Pro X2 16GB retains the recommended selling price of $ 99.99, with existing models having $ 20 knocked off their prices. Customers in Australia and Japan will be next to receive the card.
The legality of the SD Association’s Wireless LAN standard for SD cards is being challenged by wireless SD maker Eye-Fi. The company says the standard, announced at CES, uses elements of its intellectual property that it hasn’t agreed to license. ‘Essential Eye-Fi patented technology would be violated by anyone implementing this draft specification.’ Eye-Fi says the SD Association’s own process for approving the standard has not been completed and the draft standard should not have been announced.
Eye-Fi has introduced the Eye-Fi View online sharing service and has released an updated version of its Eye-Fi Center software application. The latest version of the software allows users to share full resolution images using a new email-sharing feature. In addition, the company has also released a firmware update for its X2 series of wireless memory cards.
