CES prize goes to $100 memory card – WiFi Flash Memory
A memory card that wirelessly sends pictures from a digital camera to a computer letting you skip the tedium of plugging the camera in to upload images got bragging rights Wednesday at the International Consumer Electronics Show. Eye-Fi Inc.’s wireless card beat nine other contenders for the top spot in the traditional Last Gadget Standing session, a breezy and informal CES contest staged by Yahoo Inc.’s technology section. The winner is determined by the volume of audience applause.
The $100 Eye-Fi card, which has 2 gigabytes of memory, uses Wi-Fi to instantly zap pictures to computers and photo-sharing Web sites. The company, based in Mountain View, Calif., announced earlier at CES that it had a deal to get its technology into memory cards made by Lexar Media.
