ShutterSnitch Lets Eye-Fi Sent Pics to iPad

ShutterSnitch is an app built for the iPhone and iPad that lets Eye-Fi wireless SD cards communicate and drop photos on to it.

The app saves you buying an iPad camera kit although the downside is that Eye-Fi cannot communicate with the iPad or iPhone direct. Instead, you need to have a router or MiFi type device installed so that an infrastructure wireless connection can be created from the iPad to router and from the Eye-Fi to the same router allowing both devices to then talk.

To get the whole system working you need an iPad, Camera, Eye-Fi card and a Router, most of which those who want to do this will already have. [Read more…]

We have been hearing rumours the last few days that a new iMac could be launching soon along with a few other products. The rumours started last week when stores were told to let their iMac stock deplete.

UPDATE: Doubly-hypothetical, but who knows, maybe even that desktop multitouch trackpad device I first mentioned last October, too.
