they look very interesting in paper/screen
Don't they just?
They can't work in my DSLR, though, so no, I haven't used them in that
exact way. (My D700 takes only type I Compact Flash cards. Eye-Fi
cards are SD. There are SD to CF adapters, but I haven't found any for
full-size SD that are Type I; they're all the thicker Type II, like
microdrives were, and the D700 doesn't take those. Of course with more
modern cameras even the pro models sometimes take SD cards, so this
wouldn't be a problem.)
I use them in my EVIL (that's "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable
Lens") camera, though. When paired to a hot-spot on my phone, I can
then have images I "protect" on the camera appear nearly instantly on my
Facebook or Flickr page. (Or I could have the whole stream go, but I
don't want to do that.)
For the other sort of use, volume professional work, you want a
different card than mine (I think you need the "pro" series) which will
transfer RAW as well as jpeg files. You can establish an ad-hoc wifi
network to your laptop, without using any access point, and have
everything transferred there. It's not wildly fast though.
I've heard reports from people doing things like teams of photographers
covering a youth sports tournament professionally setting up their own
wifi network and feeding everything live back to their servers and
selling prints from workstations set up for the parents to use even as
the games were still in progress. Sounds like a cool infrastructure
build problem, at least (computers being my profession).
