WiFi Equipped SD Cards

A company called Eye-Fi is looking to bring WiFi-embedded SD cards to your digital camera. Rather than spending a ton of money on a WiFi-enabled digital camera, you’ll be able to purchase an SD card that can go in almost any digital camera and will allow a WiFi connection from multiple devices.
With capacities of up to 2GB, Eye-Fi certainly has a chance of creating a new device the market will jump on. I personally would love to have one of my Casio Exilim cameras WiFi-enabled. Expect to pay $100 for a 2GB model, which is a pretty pricey for an SD card. But remember, you’re getting the joy of WiFi!

Brilliant, wish I had thought of it. I can see a laundry list of other products that could follow.
What about security, can anyone within range shuffle through your pictures?
What if the SD card is plugged into something other than a camera, say just a battery. Is it now a portable WiFi accesable “drive” for general purpose use.

I’m curious as to how it’s going to work. How do I configure it for various wireless networks? How do I let it know when to upload pictures, and when not to?
