Glenn Paul, president of dotPhoto, is an enthusiastic Eye-Fi user. "When we tested the Eye-Fi card with dotPhoto, I took my Canon camera and Eye-Fi wireless card to Amish Country. The next day, I brought my camera to work and started answering email. After a while, I remembered the camera, and opened my dotPhoto account. There were all the pictures I had taken the day before - neatly transferred without any effort, without cables, time or intent - my pictures just magically appeared online in a new dotPhoto Album. 'Wow!' I thought. 'This is the way technology is supposed to work - like magic.'"
"We've eliminated the hassles and made it simple for users to upload photos to dotPhoto. In fact, Eye-Fi owners don't even have to turn on their computer for their photos to upload. We want people to be free to focus on printing and sharing their memories," said Ziv Gillat, co-founder and VP of Marketing and Sales of Eye-Fi.
dotPhoto users who own Eye-Fi cards can now spend more time making award- winning dotPhoto Shows and sharing prints, gifts and books. The new dotPhotoGo by Noromis software also makes it easier to print photos that Eye- Fi sends directly to PCs. Desktop printing has been notoriously problematic; now dotPhotoGo and Eye-Fi improve home printing as well as printing online. A free download at http://www.dotphoto.com/, dotPhotoGo crops, adjusts color and fixes red-eye automatically.
Eye-Fi's 2GB wireless SD memory card was announced today, and is available at dotPhoto.com for just 9.99. For more information, please visit http://www.dotphoto.com/ and http://www.eye.fi/.
