Hi all,
Now that my Raspberry Pi order has come in, I'm looking for a Canadian
distributor for wifi-enabled SD cards, or better, a Toronto retailer
with some in-stock. After a bunch of googling, I haven't turned up
much of anything though.
I'm looking for something along the lines of a Flu-card[1], though not
specifically designed for cameras. (It's interesting to note that
this card apparently runs Linux and provides a webserver.)
The Eye-Fi is definitely out. Although they do have an inexpensive
version (~ $30USD IIRC), according to wikipedia[2] all data and at
least some private network info is forwarded to the company...
ostensibly to enable cloud features.
My use case is to run nightly builds of Pine[3] and run some automated
tests on a Raspberry Pi. I don't really cherish the thought of having
to manually change and reboot the unit daily. A wired variant (say
USB), would be acceptable, but my initial searches didn't turn up
anything useful.
I'd also be interested in hearing thoughts and/or impressions from
anyone that may have used a card like these.
Best regards,
- Scott.
