I saw a review for this. Thanks for the advice about the set up process. I was thinking about using this setup for models to see what is going on during the shoot to see if it is what they are looking for their portfolio. I know I could use the lcd but the screen is so much bigger on a ipad

FYI, I finally got around to trying this yesterday... it works!

The good: It does just what it says it does. No chords or internet needed.

The Bad: Setup isn't very intuitive, and there aren't a lot of threads on the web to walk you through it. I also wouldn't bother trying to do this with a D40. It's power settings are configured such that its not a workable solution.

The Ugly: SLOW... don't plan on using this with your D3X shooting large RAW files. Set to Fine Large JPEG, my D90's shots took about 1 min to upload. Set to Small basic and its only about 5 seconds, but at that quality, I may as well use my iphone.

I'm experimenting with a few setup tweaks. For instance, I discovered that a lot of the slowdown was because the eye-fi card was trying to geotag the photo. Even so, I think this tech may be about a generation ahead of its time. I don't know that wi-fi has the bandwidth to get us the speed we really need, and my guess is that the iPad could use a bit more horse power processing this stuff.

EyeFi now makes an iPhone app that will allow you to connect their card directly to the iPhone/iPad without the need to jail break the iPad. Will be looking into this in a couple months.
