The card begins to fall apart. Back are the two plastic elements not interconnected and they could be easily opened with a fingernail. I avoid as far as possible, of course, but nevertheless this gap which has opened there is not good. Dust and dirt can penetrate and damage memory or WLAN module. I really had a lot SD card in use, but this is the first time that such a thing happened to me. Maybe I just caught only bad luck and a Monday model, but who has had similar experiences, can indeed times provide feedback.

If you look at the Toshiba FlashAir card you know that this is an invention that will overtake himself. Would not be on the map, that it is capable of wireless - you would not look at her. , The integral wireless module must therefore be incredibly small and light. It will therefore probably be only a matter of time and especially money, until you will have so integrated WLAN module in virtually any camera. But even then have those cards still make sense for people who have the old cameras that do not have Wi-Fi module. But we are so far not yet, in 2013, a feature is a rarity. Therefore, we look at the Flash Air even closer to:

I have to the product created a video in which I show the essential things: The configuration of the card with the PC tool and the practical use of the card in a DSLR camera (EOS 600D) with a tablet (iPad Mini). I think so you can get the best impression of the whole. Especially the loading time of images should indeed be quite interesting to assess whether the card is helpful even in practical use for.

With mobile devices, the card works great in all my cameras it worked without any problems. Only with my MacBook Pro I can not connect partout, which is a little annoying. Alleridngs not so bad, because I can poke the map yes and rüberziehen the photos only on smartphone or tablet so you get them more difficult. Since both looking at the pictures and downloading works without any problems. My DSLR makes relatively large images, they are let down in a few seconds. That means that merely viewing is relatively fast, but it is clear that this case of relatively large images does not work as fast as flipping through the picture gallery that already exists on the phone.

But the handling is very easy. Ideally, invites you once the small program from the Toshiba FlashAir side down and configures the card and sets its own password. Even if the card has cleared completely again, one can hereby produce all essential functions again.
Also recommended is there the German manual to load down. This is much better and more pleasant to read than the small leaflet, also everything is much better and also explained with pictures.

The Handling of the board is also very easy. If you push them into a device and it turns this device is activated, the Wi-Fi module and you can take such as his smartphone, connect to the Toshiba FlashAir WiFi, launch the app and view the photos or download. You can also select multiple images and all download at once and you're not limited to the pure image files. You can choose between the thumbnail and folder view and select any file and copy. You can not delete files on the card via App. On the whole then go to PC via a browser, I could not test as mentioned. However, since I do not know where the fault lies, if at my Mac or if the card is not just Mac compatible. What would surprise me, however, that the Toshiba FlashAir tool is also available as OS X version.

The good thing about the solution that the card has a wireless router is integrated that you simply any device that has Wireless LAN with this card can be connected, as there are no compatibility issues. A special multi-battery drain so far I could not find, but the Wi-Fi module is disabled after a user-defined time, of its own accord.

Funny Thing Happened on when Toshiba in the future a program out there that made a photo automatically transfers to your PC or on your tablet so it is there would be displayed directly. Then the card really well in the professional area would be very useful I guess. So it is especially suitable for people who are either low-cost tablets or smartphones have to be not so easily able to transfer images. Or for people who want their photos like into the net while on the move and to haul no laptop with you but rejoice when they simply can upload via mobile phone photos.
