Eye-Fi Mobi wireless memory card: high-quality digital photography with the connectivity of mobile

London and Mountain View, 12^th December 2013 – Eye-Fi, the world’s market leader for wireless SD memory cards, introduces Eye-Fi Mobi. Eye-Fi Mobi adds the convenience and the connectivity of mobile devices to high quality digital photography. Photos and videos can now be transferred quickly, easily and wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet, making them immediately available for sharing with the rest of the world via social media or email.

Many people use smartphones to take pictures, because the images can be shared instantly on social media. “Unfortunately, the capabilities of smartphones are very limited when compared to digital cameras in the areas of zoom, high-speed shooting, lighting and other functions,” says Matt DiMaria, CEO of Eye-Fi. “Eye-Fi Mobi is our most user friendly card to date and it is designed for photography enthusiasts who seek a solution without compromise: high quality photos and videos combined with the instant online delivery of the smartphone.”

Thanks to Eye-Fi Mobi, the cumbersome transfer of photos from the camera to smartphone or PC is a thing of the past, so now photographers only need to focus on making unforgettable photos. Juggling a multitude of devices is no longer necessary: the high quality photos from the camera can now be shared instantly via social media. Replace the camera’s standard SD card with an Eye-Fi Mobi card to make the pictures appear on your iOS or Android™ device in two simple steps.

“Our research shows that Eye-Fi Mobi fills a gap in the market. There is a large group of photographers who would like to transfer their photos wirelessly from their camera to their mobile devices,” says Alan Bullock, Associate Director at InfoTrends.” Many consumers even state that they will start using their digital camera’s more often again, if it has that functionality.”

“Up until now, you were only able to share your photos at the end of the day, or even at the end of your journey, when travelling,” says Francesco Rovetta, an enthusiastic Eye-Fi Mobi user and founder of Summit Stories, a charity project by mountaineers to help disadvantaged children. “With Eye-Fi Mobi I can take great pictures in remote locations such as Mount Kilimanjaro, and instantly edit, share and store them on my smartphone. Eye-Fi Mobi connects my camera to my phone so I can share my passion for photography in an easy and convenient way.”
