BTW, I heard from the folks at c-base hackerspace that they are working on some eye-fi software for DIY Scanning. Hope they'll drop by here and give everyone and update soon.

Picked up mine at the store... I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could specify which directory each card would upload to. Once I build my scanner (too busy cutting other people's scanners!) I look forward to clicking away and not having to remove the cameras to upload the images!

yeah... at that price I picked up my two and even if I don't use them, no big loss.

Daniel, any hints on the software for these?

Actually, I do occasionally have to do that. For whatever reason endless memory mode fails. Not that often and I have been meaning to glance over the eye-fi forums to see it they know what's up but busy, busy, busy... The strange thing is, if both cards fill up in the same session, it's within a couple photos of each other. Still worth every penny.

Can't seem to edit my posts. The original sale has ended but it seems as if the Pros are still on sale for 79.99.

I haven't tried endless memory mode, but I've been meaning to.

We disabled editing posts (except for the period a few minutes after you post), because twice now we've had members melt down and delete all their posts.
