I was watching ‘The Gadget Show’ last night, and a particular gadget took my eye. It’s the Eye-Fi. A wireless SD card which automatically uploads any photos on it to either a PC or the internet (such as TweetPic or Flickr).

It’s a great idea – with one minor issue: Naughty photos (such as drunk office snaps) would be automatically uploaded when you return home after a night on the smash! The Gadget Show team brought this up. Could the software be altered so that it adds a simple interface to cameras, allowing you to select the photos you want to upload. It’s a balance between efficiency and safety.

Running with this idea of Wi-Fi enabled SD cards, could an idea be implemented so that they automatically download data? Could this be run alongside version admin software and possibly user access control to give up-to-date files and data from an FTP or server?

It’s a great idea, and I think it will do well. With some good ideas behind the concept it could be the next step in mobile data storage!
