Eye-Fi has announced its new, next generation 8GB Eye-Fi Pro X2 memory card (CES Innovations 2010 Honoree), which powered by Eye-Fi’s proprietary X2 engine that features an exclusively designed chip and Wi-Fi 802.11n radio, allowing users to wirelessly upload JPEG, RAW images and videos from cameras to computers as well as popular online photo and video sharing sites, including Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, MobileMe and YouTube.



In addition, Eye-Fi Pro X2 incorporates new Endless Memory mode that automatically deletes the safely-delivered old photos to make space available on the memory card.

According to Eye-Fi, “In Endless Memory mode users can choose to have Eye-Fi automatically make space available on their Eye-Fi Pro X2. Using the card’s ability to communicate with the Eye-Fi Service, it receives confirmation whenever photos and videos are safely delivered to the user’s computer and/or online sharing site. When the card reaches the user’s pre-determined amount of space used, it will remove files that have been safely uploaded, beginning with the oldest – even when the card is not connected to the network. If files have not yet been uploaded, the Pro X2 will not remove them. This option can be set up in Eye-Fi Center.”

Key Features Of Eye-Fi Pro X2:

  • Eye-Fi’s proprietary X2 engine enables greater flexibility in memory capacity and faster read write/speeds
  • Class 6 read & write speeds for high performance shooting
  • Built-in 802.11n technology gives unprecedented wireless performance
  • Automatically geotags photos with information about where the images were taken
  • Endless Memory mode automatically free up space once your photos and videos are uploaded

“With the introduction of our first wireless memory card, we made backing up and sharing photos effortless. Now, we’re again redefining what is possible with a leap forward in technology, performance and user experience,” commented Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi. “The new X2 engine delivers further on the promise of a connected device – more convenience and virtually endless storage capacity, so there is no cap on the memories that can be captured.”

8GB Eye-Fi Pro X2 is now available for pre-order through www.eye.fi and Amazon.com for an MSRP of $149.99.
