Upload to Web 2. Upload to Web + Computer 3. Upload to Computer If choose Upload to Web or Upload to Web + Computer, your computer does not have to be on. The Eye-Fi Card will upload through your wireless router, up through your broadband, to the Eye-Fi Service, and from there, to your online destination (Facebook, Flickr, etc...) and back down to your computer if you chose Web + Computer. If you choose Upload to Computer, your computer has to be on because the photos will upload to your computer via your local wireless router. So to clear things up, The Eye-Fi Card only requires a wireless network connection to solely upload to a computer. I hope this clears things up. The Eye-Fi Card works in one of three modes.
1. Upload to Web
2. Upload to Web + Computer
3. Upload to Computer

If choose Upload to Web or Upload to Web + Computer, your computer does not have to be on. The Eye-Fi Card will upload through your wireless router, up through your broadband, to the Eye-Fi Service, and from there, to your online destination (Facebook, Flickr, etc…) and back down to your computer if you chose Web + Computer.

If you choose Upload to Computer, your computer has to be on because the photos will upload to your computer via your local wireless router.

Dlink makes a usb-powered router, that can run off of a usb battery pack. so you configure your eye-fi to push to your laptop, turn on your laptop and then have your router within distance. the usb powered router is actually small enough, that you can keep it and the usb battery in your pocket! you can do what you describe… you just need to setup your own local network: laptop, camera w/eye-fi, and then a wireless router.

Did they update it? Still only JPEG though which doesn't help. It works with a Cf adapter which is cool. If they get RAW in there this could be useful.
