Here is the dream: 1. Take photos with camera using the Eye-Fi Mobi. 2. Have iPhone in pocket. 3. Download the Eye-Fi App, and activate. 4. Look on iPhone and find all my new photos! Yay!!! Here's the reality: 1. Take photos with camera using the Eye-Fi Mobi. 2. Have iPhone in pocket. 3. Download the Eye-Fi App, and activate. 4. Nothing happens. 5. Look online, realize that the camera needs to take lots of photos to activate the Eye-Fi, so take more photos. 6. Nothing happens. 7. Look online, realize that the camera needs to be activated somewhere in the menus to turn on Eye-Fi. 8. Make changes to camera. 9. Find the Eye-Fi wireless signal and connect iphone to the signal. 10. Take more photos randomly just to try to turn the damn thing on. 11. Nothing happens. 12. Get annoyed, pull card out of camera, and plug it into a handy card reader that you've used 100 times to download photos into your computer. 13. Nothing happens. 14. Look online, find out that Eye-Fi doesn't work with most card readers, and the only way (theoretically -- although at this point that is unproven) to get photos off the card is to use the wi-fi system. 15. Take more photos. 16. Realize something is happening -- YAY! Card is working. So easy and simple. Took me two hours to do what takes five minutes. PROGRESS! 17. Realize that Eye-Fi only downloads pictures, and won't download videos taken by my camera, which are in simple format. So no videos. Videos are now lost for all time. 18. Try downloading photos to another iPhone, because that's kind of the idea of this kind of connectivity -- to SHARE! 19. Realize that Eye-Fi will only download the photos once. 20. Look for packaging to return this horror show of a product. It's really the worst thing I've ever owned. I wish I could give it negative stars: * Documentation is terrible. * Online help is terrible. * Does not work intuitively. * Card doesn't work with standard readers, so the only way to get photos off it is to use their system. * Card doesn't download standard videos to iPhone. * Card will only work intermittently, depending on how many photos you've taken -- doesn't do it as you snap them. * Card will only download the photos once, so you only get one crack at them. This is the second time that Eye-Fi has suckered me into buying their products. The first one was terrible too, but that was three years ago and I figured they'd gotten their act together. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, my bad. I hate myself for buying this. It's too late for me. Save yourself. Never, ever, ever buy one of these.
