Transcend has launched a brand new product to its range of memory card offerings – the Wi-Fi SD memory card, with integrated wireless capability for SDHC-compatible digital cameras. The card, via the use of Wi-Fi networks and a Wi-Fi SD app, lets users transfer images from their camera to their laptops and/or smartphones immediately after capturing them, via wireless networks.
The Wi-Fi SD card has two modes it can
function in: Direct Share Mode and Internet Mode. In the Direct Share
Mode, as the name suggests, uses can transfer images directly between
camera and phone by establishing a peer-to-peer connection, ideal for
those times when you’re in the middle of nowhere and don’t have access
to a Wi-Fi network.
Using the Wi-Fi SD App, users can switch
between Direct Share Mode and Internet Mode instantly. Internet Mode
connects directly to any Wi-Fi networks in the facility, even picking up
the personal hotspots provided by smartphones. When connected in this
mode, users can browse and download photos from the Card via the App,
and even share them instantly via email and/or social networking through
their phone.
The App is available for the iOS and
Android platforms, and is free-to-download from the iTunes stores as
well as the Google Play store. Apart from this app, laptop and PC users
can also access the data on the Card via an interface that can be opened
up in any standard browser window.
The SD Card is available in 16 GB and 32
GB formats for US $69 and US $99 respectively. Overall, this is a very
handy tool for shutterbugs and photography/video-capture enthusiasts who
need extra storage on-the-move and/or like to take backups of their
images/videos, similar to the Eye-Fi
range of memory cards. Using the enhanced connectivity offered by these
cards, you’ll be able to share and view your high-resolution photos on
your smartphone/laptop/computer as soon as they are taken.
