Ever wonder what was inside your Eye-Fi card? No? Well, Ikontools opened one up to tell you. It basically contains the Atheros radio-on-chip, some Samsung flash, and a whole lot of suck because you can’t take pictures of any quality and be sure they’ll ever upload automatically over Wi-Fi, one of the things the Eye-Fi was supposed to do seamlessly. Honestly, I had high hopes for the product but I haven’t gotten it to work correctly once in the month I’ve had it. Anyway, feast your eyes on some solid state, kids, while I go simmer in my own hate.
