Eye-Fi announced at Macworld that they will be releasing a free iPhone app for users that currently own a Eye-Fi card.  PropertyPreviews happens to be a distribution site for Eye-Fi users.  If you have not tried Eye-Fi it is certainly a great product. If you are taking a lot of photos on the run and would like to streamline your photo upload process, give it a try.  Better yet give it a try with PropertyPreviews.com!!

The new application will let users aggregate all of their photos – from both an iPhone and a digital camera - into organized folders on a computer and to one of 25 online photo sharing and social networking Web sites. iPhone users who own an Eye-Fi card can download the free application from Apple’s App Store up

“Whether you’re snapping pictures on-the-go with an iPhone or capturing life’s important moments with a digital camera, Eye-Fi will offer one easy way to manage and share all your photos – without docking a gadget or fussing with software,” said Jef Holove, CEO for Eye-Fi. “We are solving another real-world frustration for anyone who takes photos with both devices.”

Using the Eye-Fi application, users can select which iPhone photos to upload and where to share them. As with the Eye-Fi Explore card, photos taken on an iPhone can be automatically tagged with information about where the picture was taken. Users can then view geotagged photos on a digital map and organize photos by location.

Whiz Bang! Great technology enhances video creation

We love that you love how easy PropertyPreviews.com is to create free real estate video.   There’s a way to make it even easier.   Perhaps you’ve seen references to Eye-Fi on our site, and paid it no attention.

For those of you who make frequent use of PropertyPreviews, and we know there’s a lot of you, this is something you may want to learn more about.

What if you could take pictures of a house, then stop at McDonalds for a bite to eat, and when you got home, all your photos were in your PropertyPreviews account waiting for you.   That’s right.  You NEVER connected your camera or memory card to your computer.   In fact, they’d also be waiting for you on your computer as well.   Sound impressive?  It is!  That’s what an Eye-Fi card does.  If you have a camera that uses an SD memory card, you can replace it with an Eye-Fi card, and all this magic can happen.

Here’s what’s happening.  The Eye-Fi card not only is a 2 GB memory card that stores your pictures, it’s also a wireless transmitter that will send your photos over the Internet to your computer and to PropertyPreviews, all via your pre-designated wireless network (like home or office network).   Some versions of the card come with one-year free Wayport Hot Spot access, which allows you to transmit at some public hot-spots, such as McDonalds.   Once configured, when you’re camera is on in range of one of these pre-selected networks, it automatically uploads photos.

I’ve personally used it, and there’s even more whiz-bang stuff, like geo-coding where the photo was taken.  That means, in addition to storing data like shutter speed, and date/time taken, it can also approximate the latitude and longitude of where it was taken.  This allows you to map the location of it on a map like Google Maps.   This feature is not available on all Eye-Fi models.

For those of you that like focusing your time on buyers, sellers and prospects, and not on labor-intensive marketing (hey, isn’t that why you use PropertyPreviews.com in the first place?), then consider adding an Eye-Fi card to your tool bag.   Once you try it, we think you’ll be as impressed as we are.  PropertyPreviews is proud to be the first real estate partner of Eye-Fi, and we think you’ll be excited when you learn what it can do.   Others think it’s impressive as well.  Eye-Fi has garnered numerous awards, including PC World’s “The 100 Best Products of 2008″ and Yahoo! Tech’s “Last Gadget Standing 2008.”
