It’s taken well over a year for Eye-Fi to bring its self-titled wireless SD card to market, but on the plus side, that Benjamin now gets you 2GB of storage — a welcome boost for a rumored capacity that had dipped as low as 512MB. In case the past 18 months have made the details a little fuzzy, this 802.11g card requires a one-time setup on your PC before it’s ready to automatically upload full resolution pics to one of 17 websites each time you turn on your camera. Even better, a backup copy is also sent to your PC, ensuring that your photos are safely archived when your favorite social network folds.

 The Eye-Fi 2GB SD Card that can wirelessly transfer pics to your computer just got FCC approval. There’s an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi chip on board, allowing you to upload shots that you’ve taken without plugging in your camera. The feature’s been around in other cameras before—Kodak’s Easyshares come to mind. We’re not sure about the features, but if this can somehow stream pics as you take it and delete them afterwards, you can have a relatively unlimited storage card (as long as the battery in both your camera and the laptop you’re streaming pics to hold out).

 A recent trip to a coffee house had us thinking– why isn’t WiFi everywhere yet? Well, at loss for the answer to that one (though opinions explaining WiFi’s utter lack of ubiquity differ widely), we decided to ask another one–how can the wireless road warrior equip himself for navigating the mostly-uncharted seas of WiFi? The first tool for your wireless toolbelt is NetStumbler, a Windows app for discovering and probing WiFi access points. There’s also a Windows CE/Mobile version of NetStumbler that you can fire up on your Windows Mobile cell phone, if you’re really packing light. Mac users will want to try out JiWire, available in compact widget version for OS X, shown here. If none of those options do you any good, visit WiFinder, a site that’s sort of a MapQuest for WiFi hotspots. Though our initial test didn’t reveal a number of local spots we’re sure are actually there, we did uncover a few we never noticed before. WiFinder even knows where a few spots are in the Vatican.
