Here is an example where a sample image was automatically uploaded to my local computer, to the Eye-Fi View and to Nikon's MyPicturetown (the image is also present on the actual SD card):

Eye-Fi recently released also a free iPhone app (get it via iTunes) that allows you to wirelessly upload images from you iPhone to your computer.

The current version of the app will not receive photos or videos from the Eye-Fi SD card, but this functionality called Direct Mode will be added in the next few months and will open a whole new window of opportunities - you will be able to upload media online even if you do not have a Wi-Fi connection by simply using your iPhone (see also this video from the BBC):

The next video will give you an idea of the upload speed via a Wi-Fi 802.11n network (it took aprox. 25 seconds to transfer a 12.9MP NEF file from the camera to the computer):

At the time of this review the Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB SDHC memory card costs $129.

    GPS and wifi should be built into all new cameras, but it is not, The Eye-Fi is the next best thing.

    Got one card, and lovet it. But with two cameras its hard to decide where to put it.
    Another card should make life much easier.
    Uploading both to my ftp and to my Picasa (link on my homepage)

    I’ve been trying to find an “old” 4gb (cheaper) version, because the rest of the line won’t upload RAW files
