EyeFi Pro Reviews:

"I've been working with a card and was hoping to get a review posted this morning, but trying to test the ad-hoc network features has been driving me batty, in part because configuration seems to require that your system be connected to the Internet and the ad-hoc network simultaneously--which is impossible--or that you're using two computers. I'm probably just overlooking something obvious. And despite some minor annoyances with how the Eye-Fi ecosystem operates, all the other features have worked quite well across multiple computers and cameras." - 4GB model review by CNet, June 10, 2009http://reviews.cnet.com/flash-memory-cards/eye-fi-pro-4gb/4505-3241_7-33678439.html

"Powered by Eye-Fi's proprietary X2 engine, it brings high-end memory card performance to another level by keeping shutterbugs happy with its increased storage capacity and Class 6 performance that provides superior read/write speeds, alongside even zippier wireless photo and video uploads and increased Wi-Fi range thanks to its 802.11n radio within. Another feature that will keep users of the new Eye-Fi Pro X2 happy would be the Endless Memory mode that allows the Eye-Fi card to make space available automatically once photos and videos are uploaded - hopefully the uploading process would be flawless then, lest Murphy strikes halfway. Above all, Eye-Fi will also roll out the Eye-Fi Center desktop application which opens up more avenues for you to share your digital memories with others." - 8GB model review by Ubergizmo, January 5, 2010http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/01/eye-fi-pro-x2.html
