Eye-Fi is, perhaps, best known for their memory cards that automatically transmits photos from your digital camera to your PC, wirelessly.  Taking that idea one step further, Eye-Fi announced two new SD cards, the Eye-Fi Share Video and Eye-Fi Explore Video, that also transfer videos automatically.  In fact, Eye-Fi finds that half of all digital camera owners use their digital camera to shoot videos, over an actual video camera or cell phone. 

According to comScore, more than 144 million videos were watched online this past year, so videos being uploaded to the Internet has become extremely popular in the past few years and this popularity has boomed with the emergence of YouTube.  Faster Internet connections have also made videos more popular to watch and use.  Now, Eye-Fi has embedded technology into their cards that automatically upload your videos to either YouTube or Flickr.  In addition to these services, the cards have the ability to upload videos and pictures to social networking websites such as Facebook. 

The two SD cards both have storage capacities of 4GB and they automatically geotag the photos and videos.  All you need is a good Wi-Fi connection to start the uploading process.  The 4GB Eye-Fi Share Video will retail for $79, while the Explore Video will sell for $99.  The Explore costs more because it gets you a year of hotspot access.  Both of these are set to be available later this month and will be on sale at Apple Retail Stores, Best Buy Retail stores, Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Costco.com.
