[EE] Eye-Fi SD flash + automatic WiFi
M. Adam Davis
It's a 2GB SD card with built in WiFi. Once configured for your
wireless network, when powered it'll upload photos from the flash to
your computer (and then onto photo sharing services if desired).
All automagically.
The ideal, for me, is to have it use bluetooth to talk to my phone and
upload them anywhere, regardless of wifi access... but maybe later.
The device itself looks pretty cool on the inside. If these links
don't work, look up "VHE" on the FCC exhibits page:

having WiFi built in. Sure you don't have to plug your camera in to
upload the pictures. But you still have to turn it on, then turn it off
when it's done uploading. And how often would you take a bunch of
pictures within range of your WiFi network?
I'm sure it has it's place, and I almost bought it, but then I realized
that it's not worth it for me.

and ran linux, that'd be cool. Then the camera would
be an accessory to it rather than the other way around
:)

but they are all at least $200, which may or may not be in your price
range.
You might point him to this:
http://rabbit.com/products/RCM4400W/
The full dev kit (compiler & libraries, devboard, one core module,
etc) is only $150 right now, and each unit is $120 in onesies ($99 @
quantity 100).
They don't run Linux, and aren't ARMs, but at 60MHz it's a pretty
capable processor with WiFi, and perfect for datalogging with web
based management, internet (email, ftp, etc).
Doesn't match many applications, but when it does it's perfect.
Well... it _could_ use an SD card slot... and who doesn't want power
over WiFi...and...and...and...

I would envisage such functionality being more of an instantaneous
duplicator of shots taken to something in your pocket, in case of camera
theft or some such.

Well, not quite that, but I'm looking at
http://www.connectone.com/products.asp?did=73&pid=61 for a PIC project.
They are supposed to have an SPI version Real Soon Now.

medium.
Then any camera just by adding a timer or remote control to the take picture
button could become a candidate to take high resolution 'accelerated time
photography'
