Woot has the Eye-fi SD cards on sale today. I know @HSS has bought one in the past. Are these worthwhile at all or a pass?

I have one in my digital camera and it works well. Drawback is you have to have software running on a PC in your house pull the pictures off the card.

I thought these cards could upload directly to certain cloud services, without a PC involved. Not so?

[cskenney 150]

I don't think they can upload directly. They rely on the software on the PC to do it.

Checking Wikipedia I see that there are a number of models, some of which can upload directly to sharing sites, others that only go to a PC or Mac. Bottom line: check before you buy.
