I think it need not be connected to wifi to work.
However it does requires u to be within the range of registered wifi network.

Not really a useful feature especially if you don't shoot in the city.

Get the Eye Fi as it is more established and stable.

A lot of people have trouble using the Flu card and the customer service is non existent.

HTH.

Now I have the eyefi card for months, and love it very much, this card is 10 times better then flu card, my flu card is no more in use. Flu card is rubbish flush to toilet I will not heart pain.

Ebay is cheaper, I just get it rm120. 4gb 2x class 6 Original box from USA. Come with card reader and manual.

How good is this eyefi? First the apps and program is free.
Less heat and battery life longer then flucard. And success upload rate is almost 100%.

Currently my android phone and pc have the apps installed. When under registered wifi area, every photo taken will be uploaded to eyefi account. Then my phone (default device) will sync the picture back to phone n share my photo to facebook automatically. Fb is my default web upload. I had tested with picasa, flikr, evernote, ftp. All success. wink.gif

When Ur in jungle and no WiFi, every shoots will upload to Ur phone via WiFi direct, Ur phone will automatically connect to eyefi card(that is the only connectable connection in jungle), so when u reach home, it will automatically pload to Ur Fb/pc.

Basically u can say shoot and wait awhile, Ur will get Ur photo in Ur phone and facebook. Simple and no need plug in plug out the USB port. Good for picnics, travel, u can shoot and view it in Ur phone or laptop.

Also another great function, you can set auto delete the successfully uploaded picture when reach certain disk quotas.
So I never face any sdcard full as long as my phone is with me.
Ps* u still can shoot photo and store it like normal sdcard when u didn't bring any phone/ laptop with u, and it will do its job when u enter connectable WiFi zone.

Flu card is totally nothing and unstable.
