interesting, about 6mb/s at full speed. But you need a pc/hotspot nearby to use it.

calvin,

Thank you for contacting EyeFi. Currently, that is not a supported
configuration. We have not tested the SD2CF adaptor, and as for the wifi,
the card is not set up to be a wireless interface for mobile web
browsing. Thank you.

Can the SD card be plugged into a Compact flash SD adapter
(http://the-gadgeteer.com/assets/eagletec-sd2cf-adapter1.jpg) to be used
with a DSLR like D200? Will the wifi work?

The card will also come with a Compact Flash (Type-II) adapter so you can use it with your precious D-SLRs.

The adapter has to be fast enough though. I've a couple SD cards lying around that I dont use and would want to use an SD2CF adapter but the speed of those adapters are tooo slow.

Then I guess the only solution would be to either to live with the slow speed or spend more on faster CF cards. laugh.gif
