IFA 2011: Transfers just got easier
While it initially might not seem the most of exciting of IFA announcements, the Toshiba FlashAir wireless SDHC card is actually a massively useful piece of kit.
Being able to send images and video straight from camera to social media sites or computer seems to us the next logical step in camera memory. Eye-Fi already make use of some very similar technology which sees its cards being able to upload pictures to websites like Flickr.?
Indeed Eye-Fi tech actually sounds very similar to the FlashAir, the major difference however is that Eye-Fi can only send data, not receive it. Peer to peer transfers mean you can send data between FlashAir cards in?separate?devices.?
Inside the 8GB FlashAir is functionality that allows you to send photos to and from a server as well as exchange data and images between wireless compliant devices.
Toshiba has further plans for its memory business, planning even more additions to its current memory card setup.?
Expect the first FlashAir cards to make an appearance in shops in February 2012.?
