Eye-Fi Flash Memory Easy install on PC
Just received this yesterday and spent 2+ hours playing with it and
figuring out how it works. Running Win7 on the PC and Android on my
SmartPhone and Samsung Tablet. My objective with this purchase was to
allow me to automate the moving of pictures from my nice (but older)
Lumix camera. Well, the 1st problem was that my older camera can only
handle a 2gb card, not 4gb (my fault for not checking). Anyway, the
product comes with a very small getting started guide. I would suggest
going to the web site and grabbing a full sized version. The PC
installation went very well and it defaulted to having the card update
on the computer. It took a little work to figure out how to connect it
to my network. Seems like that would have been part of the installation
steps, but it was not. I installed the
Android version on my phone and
followed the instructions, but could not get it to switch from updating
the computer to updating the phone instead. I finally thought that it
might be related to the fact that it was still on the home network so I
shut off my home router temporarily. After that, it took a few minutes,
but it finally starting updating to the phone. So bottom line, it is
working as expected and if you are only going to update to your
computer, installation is pretty straight forward. Since I can't use it
with my older camera,
I am using it with a new, smaller camera that I
already had. Not really meeting the objective, but my fault, not the
product.
