eyefi Si hace ya unos cuantos meses os hablábamos de las tarjetes SD Eye-fi con wifi incorporado, hoy lo volvemos a hacer para contaros las 3 nuevas versiones que se han presentado. Se trata de Eye-Fi Explore, Eye-Fi share y Eye-Fi home.

Mientra la Eye-Fi home mantiene las características principales de su predecesora, la novedad más importante se encuentra en las otras dos versiones. La versión explore tiene la particularidad de añadir automáticamente etiquetas con la localización geográfica de cada foto y la versión Share, facilita la posibilidad de subir directamente las fotos a servicios web, como flickr, picassa y otros.

Las tarjetas con una capacidad de 2 GB tienen los siguentes precios: 129.99 dólares para la Explore, 99 dólares para la Eye-Fi Share y 79 dólares para la Eye-Fi Home. Estarán a la venta a partir del próximo Junio.

Podeis leer la nota de prensa completa (en inglés) a continuación:

“We understand that each photographer has his or her own way of sharing memories,” said Jef Holove, chief executive officer of Eye-Fi. “Some users are thrilled to easily upload photos from camera to computer, while others want a much richer photo sharing experience, even when away from home. By offering three different Eye-Fi Cards and new features, our goal is to give consumers exactly what delights them.”

Eye-Fi announced three new wireless SD memory cards, including the Eye-Fi Explore, which will automatically add geographic location tags to each photo and will allow users to upload their memories from Wi-Fi hotspots. The original Eye-Fi Card, now called Eye-Fi Share, is designed for the photographer who wants to effortlessly upload images directly to their preferred photo sharing site in addition to their computer. And, the Eye-Fi Home is aimed at users who want to simply and wirelessly upload digital memories to their home computer.

Perdón por mi ignorancia, quería saber como la Eye-Fi puede guardar información geográfica.

¿Lleva GPS o algo similar?

Saludos.
