Is there CF based memory that works like Eye-Fi SD cards to wirelessly upload images?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are some warnings. First, it reduces the Eye-Fi's range to about 15 feet. Second, the read/write performance of the adapted card is diminished. Finally, they don't guarantee it will work for all CF-based cameras, offering only a short list of "proven" models, including Canon's EOS series, the Rebel XTi, and Nikon's D100.

I appreciate your reply and have also heard about the limited range associated with the Eye-Fi SD cards. I currently transfer most of my photos using the SanDisk CF reader in the photo at the dpreview link you including in your reply and for the record it is uncomfortably slow in comparison to a USB 2.0 reader. Also, the link showing the 128MB & 256MB CF cards was from a product back in 2003 ... obviously few manufactures would be putting out this small of a memory card designed for the megapixel cameras being used today.
I think I'll still hold off on an adapter and hope for something different in the future. An extended range SD or CF Eye-Fi "like" card would have a great market IMHO.

Seems like there is a CF wifi card: SanDisk has today introduced a combined WiFi (802.11b) and flash memory Compact Flash and Secure Digital cards. The 'Connect' product line starts with a 128 MB & WiFi Compact Flash card and a 256 MB & WiFi Secure Digital Card. Obviously at first these products will be aimed at the PDA market but it would be interesting to see if any camera manufacturers take advantage of this technology.

This answer was useful to me. I spotted this earlier today and told Mahalo to email me when answers were posted. Now I know something I didn't earlier. I'm not going to buy one of these today (sorry, Synchrotech), but it's nice to know it exists for when I do need it.
Thanks for the reply, although the answer wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I have friends using a couple different CF adapters for the SD Eye-Fi flash, but find it hard to believe that one has to use an adapter (some have commented that the adapter is slower than using pro-CF memory). I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require the adapter and is designed for DSLR cameras to be able to upload photos directly to servers either by wi-fi connections or bluetooth EVDO phones.
Thanks again for the answer as it is obviously helpful to others.
