Works as promised!

The Eye-Fi Mobile X2 memory card works just as promised. I had a few hang ups setting up initially and pairing it with my iPhone, but admitedly I didn't read the instructions at first. Once I read the online steps for pairing with the iPhone and realized you do the intial set up with the card hooked to the computer, it was a breeze to sink my wife's iPhone and our iPad. I use the card with my Canon Rebel T2i. It was eye-fi ready, so I can actually turn the card on and off using the camera's menu options. This allows for maximum battery life when I am far away from my computer, and also lets me not transfer pics I don't want trasferred. The card itself also allows you to choose how pics are transferred and lets you use your cameras lock function to choose what pics to trasfer. I find myself taking more 'quick shots' with my camera that I would have used my phone for in the past because it was easier for sharing. I am getting much more use out of my camera. Making this product worth much more than it's product value alone.

the realities of this card

I purchased this to put in my gopro hd hero 2 camera. I was using it to pair to my Iphone as an LCD screen. On the wifi connection at my house, sending pictures to my computer was nowhere near as fast as I saw advertised. It would take maybe 30 seconds to upload 1 picture. If you have time lapse on the gopro you can be getting up to 30 pictures a minute. Sending the pictures on the wifi at my house to my iphone was also pretty bad. It would send about 6-10 pictures, then stop working. I am unsure if this is the apps fault, or the actual cards fault. but it still does not work as I expected it to. So I lost my gopro in a sailing accident. The eye fi card was in the camera. After I lost the camera at the bottom of the beach, I was hoping that it would pair up to my iphone and send me some pictures to maybe get the whereabouts of its location. I was wrong. I spent an hour kayaking around the area I lost my camera and it would not connect to phone. By the way, I spent an hour sailing with the gopro snapping pics every 10 seconds. The phone was within 10 feet of the camera the whole time, and I got about 15 pictures (all from shore). So basically there was an hour where the camera shouldve been sending pictures to my phone and it sure didnt. So all in all, a review of my experience for each of their selling points. Direct Mode: Instant Uploads Anywhere- Yes it does this when it wants to, it cuts out often and stops sending pictures when it feels like it. Dont expect any quick upload times. Automatically Backup and Organize over Wi-Fi--No Cables, No Hassles- True, no cables. It did take a little bit to get set up. And you only get the automatic back up for a month or so before they charge you to use their service. Endless Memory: Never Miss a Shot Again- This was actually pretty cool. I dont think I used enough memory to actually use it before I lost it, Though I do like the idea of it. Eye-Fi View: View Photos Wherever, Whenever- Again this is for their service which is 49.99 a year or something ridiculous. Simple Set-up- I would say its a little above average in difficulty setting up. Its tough to know its working correctly, as I felt like it shouldve uploaded within 3-5 seconds and didnt upload for about 25-30. It may have been my preconceived notions about what I shouldve got out of this card for the price I paid, But I do not feel it was worth the $70 paid. I expected better results.
