Google gifts Eye-Fi cards on Christmas


With Christmas around the corner, Google is running all kinds of special festive promotions. The bulk of these endorsements require you to buy tech products to get hold of a number of freebies. The latest addition to the amazing list of free gifts on offer this festive month is a free Eye-Fi (SD card) that makes your digital camera compatible with Wi-Fi technology. The card is available only when you add up a minimum paid storage of 200GB to your existing Google account.

This unique holiday promotion is a courtesy from Google’s “Picasa” group and is valid for only a limited period. On an average, a free “Eye-Fi” card will cost you around $95. This offer is sure to catch the imagination of all the amateur shutterbugs as well as professionals using advanced digital cameras, who prefer to keep their collections obscure.

“Eye-Fi” is a Wi-Fi-enabled memory card with 4GB capacity that enables SDHC compatible digital cameras to go wireless by connecting it to Wi-Fi routers.
The Eye-Fi card comes with a full year of free “Geotagging” and “Web Share” which will cost you $24.98. What is even more, after the services expire, whenever you upload pictures to your “Picasa Web Albums” you can use your Eye-Fi card free.

Using the “Eye-Fi”card is simple. You can take photos and record videos with your camera and then upload them directly to your Picasa Web Album account. Conversely, you can feed videos and images straight to your PC via a Wi-Fi router.

According to a top Google source, this promotion is applicable only in Canada and the US. Targeted to the first time buyers, this special offer is limited only to five Eye-Fi card users per household. Overall, you can say this unique offer is Google’s very special way of saying “Happy Holidays.”
