True - the possibilities are definitely interesting.

Although, the point of this card is to provide the wi-fi itself. In a smartphone, the wi-fi is built into the device, so the card would be unnecessary. What would be good is smartphone software (plus home computer -side stuff, maybe) that would do the same thing.

But yeah - the concept is definitely great for smartphones, but leave the wi-fi to the phone and make similar software for the phone, not the card, and just go with normal storage cards. Then you'd also have a phone interface to set up the system with.

(The plus of this thing, of course, is working in any camera (if I understand it right). And getting it to fit in, and be powered by, an SD card slot is dang impressive.)
