Tos acaba de anunciar una pequeña tarjeta SDHC 8GB que ejecuta su propio punto de acceso inalámbrico: la Toshiba FlashAir.

Sí, ahora puedes navegar y transferir archivos desde la tarjeta SD a tu portátil o PC (y viceversa) sin siquiera tener que sacarla de la cámara.

La tarjeta soporta los protocolos WiFi 802.11 b/g/n y tiene una capacidad de 8GB (Clase 6). La FlashAir no tiene su propia fuente de alimentación, por lo que la obtiene del dispositivo al que está conectada.

Esta no es la primera vez que vemos una tarjeta SD con capacidad Wi-Fi. Hace un par de años, también se introdujo Eye-Fi.

What if the WiFi connection is somewhat slow? And you’re transferring huge files? This isn’t advisable especially if your town has blackouts or power outage often.

Still, it’s rad given it supports WiFi transfer.

Ok yan pero tama mukhang mabagal ang transfer nyan lalo na kung malaki files, i think dyan ang trend ngayon, me mga portable hard disk din na rechargeable at wireless, thru wifi ang transfer ng data parang NAS rather than thru usb sana po ma review nyo rin yun sir abe thanks

The problem would lie to the software and driver that would maximize its capabilities. I wonder if this has it’s own stand alone power supply that would make it just like an external wireless file repository.

i hope this technology will lives up to its expectation. Baka mabuti pang yng memory card ang isaksak mo sa ibang device kaysa mamuti ang buhok sa pagpagana nito at kabagalan. Just my notion, anyway.

nice!!! available na po ba ito sa pinas?

i agree, this is like eye-fi, pero last time i checked, hindi pwede sa pinas. pang US lang nabasa ko noon 2 yearsa ago, ewan ko lang sa ngayon.

problema lang kung feasible ito sa setting natin, sa bagal ba naman ng connection natin sa internet, kung tama ang idea ko sa technology na ito

Meron na nyan dati.. Yung Eye-Fi nga. Let’s just hope this will do better pagdating sa implementation. Medyo palpal minsan yung Eye-Fi eh.

Good job. They now combined the use of Wi-Fi SD module and SD flash memory card. This is really feasible so I’m not really surprised about this.

wohow! great!
foster bro, when the new Sony Tab goes out, could you do a review likewise? im thinking of getting one.

Nice.

Sir Abe, can you make a review of this storage device using a typical camera, say, a Sony Cybershot.

How does it work (I mean controls and user interface) via devices such as digital cameras (because that would be difficult, if not impossible)?

It may be possible that the card becomes a wifi device wherein connection and transfer is prompted via a PC using browser http://FTP... tama ba? Hehe.

Now, if they can cram the wi-fi radio and aerials in a micro-SD… that would be even cooler. hehe.
