Eye-Fi has rolled out a new Mobi SD memory card on Monday, June 3rd that will enable photographers to immediately send pictures taken to their iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone. The new memory card is available in two versions. A 16GB version that is priced at $81.19 and can be purchased directly from Amazon.com with an offer for free shipping. The second edition of the card offers 8GB of storing capacity at a price of $49.99 and it is also shipped free.
On this occasion the CEO of Eye-Fi, Matt DiMaria said that, “People like smartphones for taking pictures, mostly because of accessibility and instant sharing. Unfortunately, smartphones fall short for life’s many moments that require zooming, high-speed shooting, low light and other features that make digital cameras superior. Mobi is our simplest card yet, designed to provide photo lovers a no-compromises solution: the great quality pictures and videos of a digital camera and instant access on the smartphone to enjoy and share.”
Associate director of InfoTrends, Alan Bullock said that, “Our research shows that the capabilities of Eye-Fi’s Mobi cards are bridging a market gap: a majority of digital camera users are expressing interest in wireless transfer to mobile devices. Even more compelling is the data that many consumers say they would likely use their digital camera more if it had such a feature.”
The Founder of Summit Stories and a devoted Eye-Fi user, Francesco Rovetta said that, “Until now, sharing high-quality camera pictures while traveling meant waiting until the end of the day, or worse, waiting until the end of the trip to get images off my camera. But with the Mobi card, I can take great pictures from places as remote as Mount Kilimanjaro, while still getting the real-time editing, sharing and backup of my phone. This new card connects my phone and camera so I can share my passion for photography in a way that’s convenient and fun again.”
Below are the top features of the Eye-Fi Mobi:
“Set up simply and instantly: The Mobi has the simplest Eye-Fi card setup yet — no computer, no account and no cloud. Just download the free Eye-Fi app for iOS or Android, enter the Mobi card’s unique 10-digit code, and the mobile device is paired. Use the same code to pair as many mobile devices as needed.
Share in real-time: High-resolution photos and videos instantly transfer from camera to a device’s photo roll/gallery. From there, edit and share with any favourite apps.
Transfer anywhere: Built-in WiFi means no WiFi network, hotspot or internet connection needed for pairing or transfer; Mobi literally captures photos and then copies them from camera to device anywhere, whenever new content is detected.
Works with the devices users already own (and love): As with other Eye-Fi cards, Mobi works with thousands of cameras, including hundreds of Eye-Fi Connected cameras that have integrated Eye-Fi technology for improved usability. And, the Eye-Fi app can be downloaded for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, including the Kindle Fire.
Back up automatically: Photos and videos transfer as they’re taken, so if anything happens to the camera, content is already safe on the mobile device.
Exceptional quality and speed: Mobi reinforces Eye-Fi’s commitment to provide state-of-the-art performance in SD memory. HD video, low light and fast action shots are easily captured with this Class 10, high-capacity card.”
