Damn Cables Solution…
There still isn’t an easy solution to get your photos from your camera to your PC.
Sure, I have an adapter (cradle) hooked up to my home computer and a cardreader at the office. But all these cables feel so, well, like 1999.
A few months ago we bougth a Wifi enabled camera.
Sounds great.
Works terrible.
You need to switch stuff on and off in three places, then start up terrible looking, iPhoto incompatible, Windows 95 design style, 2 out of three times crashing software and then turn on the camera, find your way through three menus and then hope the Wi-fi signal will connect.
It won’t.
And that was the short version.
But I think I found a solution. The Griffin Technology 5 in 1 Card Reader for the ExpressCard/34 Slot in my MacBook Pro. This way I can slide in the Memory Stick Duo from my camera anytime and transfer all photos right into iPhoto.
No cables, settings or applications!
Now I just have to find a store in the Netherlands that will ship it to me.
The Griffin site will eagerly send it to me from the US but charges $48.00 to ship me a $29.99 adapter.
So much for international ecommerce…

maybe we can take two of them, I would like to have one too and then the shipping cost will be relatively better…
