I love geotagging – the locations of photos can be set to appear on a map on new Sony TVs. It really adds something extra to slideshows.

Buyer Beware: I had one of these Eye-Fi cards die on me within a month of owning it, taking a lot of important photos to the grave with it. This problem has been happening to a huge number of Eye-Fi users, and of course in nearly every case photos are lost. Basically, assume every shot you take onto this card has a 50/50 chance of surviving long enough to end up on your computer.

So, do ya feel lucky, punk?

Okay, I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about and it’s way to late in the evening. Of course H.264 itself doesn’t contain that kind of metadata, but maybe the MPEG-4 Part 14, or MP4, container does.

@jesse: Well, MJPEG obviously will, so at least one video format is known to work. However, most video formats these days are H.264, so I don’t know if that format support geotagging metadata.

The geotagging likely won’t work with anything but images. Unless other files can have exif tags.

Yeah, I agree.. get a clue dude. He filmed the video with a VIDEO camera… the eye-fi is an SD card for a STILL camera. Didn’t you notice that the VIDEO camera was filming him putting the eye-fi into the STILL camera on the table? Are you that dumb? He set down the VIDEO camera that he was talking to us through and shot a picture OVER the balcony with the STILL camera.

You are either a very silly child or a very stupid adult!

For the previous comment… he set the VIDEO camera down, which had the view of the railing, while he took a picture with the REGULAR camera. Obviously, he was standing, and well above where the camera would have a view of the railing. Wow. Use some common since.

Not only is this not a hack, it isn't even a real review. The picture he took with the camera was _not_ the picture which showed up in flickr. That picture was not sitting on the chair shooting through the railing.

What, he couldn't even be bothered to get the thing working correctly before doing this "review"?

Fail.

So when is it going to get hacked so I can put one in my car radio and upload music straight from my computer to my car?

neat, but not really a hack. I wounder if they will release a compact flash version then I would be interested.
