WiFi Camera


After years of talk, wifi has hit the mainstream, and now we're starting to see crossover products. This new Nikon camera doesn't do justice to what is possible, but it is a timid step in the right direction.
BUT adding Wi-Fi to a digital camera ought to offer some juicy possibilities anyway. You could shoot pictures without even having a memory card; the camera would shunt them wirelessly to your waiting laptop as you worked. You could post pictures to your own Web site or a photo gallery site like Flickr.com while they're still hot off the sensor. Photojournalists could e-mail their prize-winners to their editors directly from the battlefield (assuming, of course, a wireless Starbucks is near the battlefield).
