SD cards from Toshiba integrates Wi-Fi functionality to digital still cameras

Toshiba has established an industry forum "Standard Promotion Forum for Memory Cards Embedding Wireless LAN" to promote the new SD card that integrates Wi-Fi wireless communication with data storage capabilities. The forum is founded by Toshiba and Singapore-based Trek 2000 International Ltd.

This card brings Wi-Fi functionality to digital still cameras that have an SDHC slot. In the camera the card can recognize and communicate with the same type of card in another camera (on a one-to-one basis) thus enabling users to exchange photographs. It also allows users to upload and download photographs to and from a server. It is compliant with the SD memory card standard, supports IEEE 802.11b/g and has an 8-gigabyte capacity. It accepts both JPEG and RAW images.
