The Kingston® Photo Loader SD card contains special software from Migo Software that allows the user to easily and seamlessly transfer photos from a PC to one's Shutterfly account. Once the SD card is placed inside a card reader, photos are automatically downloaded to the PC and then uploaded to Shutterfly."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/Kingston Photo Loader SD Card.jpg" /> <br /><br />There's nothing I hate more than doing the same thing, over and over again. Especially when it comes to managing my digital photos. We've all been through the drill: take pictures, download to PC, resize/crop/edit, upload to photo sharing service. This SD card with Migo Software takes out one step, namely having to launch a photo uploader to get your pictures online. If I could skip that step, so many more of my photos would be online to share. And at $9.99 (after rebate), the price is in line with other 1 GB SD cards. It even includes 25 free prints for a limited time. If/when I get my hands on a sample, I'll post my thoughts here.

I used shutterflys free pics awhile ago and liked it. I am a bit dissapointed though that the card isnt offered at a discount due to such advertising pushed onto the user. Infact at 10 bucks, most companies would cover that cost for a trial signup deal.

Neat idea, but personally, I'd want to do my crop/resize/colour correct before uploading, so the card wouldn't do much for me. But I'm not the average snapshooter (former freelance photog, former custom colour lab worker), so I'm probably not the target audience. :)
