Frustrated by somewhat sluggish transfers from your otherwise spectacular Eye-Fi card? Fret not, as the company has just announced a forthcoming update at Photokina that will reportedly enable new and existing Eye-Fi owners to make “the upload of digital photos from camera to computer twice as fast.” Also of note, as of October 5th, users can even add features that aren’t already included on their card and renew annual services by tapping into the updated Eye-Fi Manager Web application. In related news, the outfit will be pushing its wares to Japan and Canada by the year’s end, and in even more related news, Eye-Fi now supports direct photo uploads to Apple’s MobileMe and the AdoramaPix service.

We’d heard Lexar and Eye-Fi were getting snuggly back in January, and look at that — nine months later the Lexar Shoot-n-Sync WiFi SD card has arrived on our doorstep. The 2GB card is basically just a Lexar-branded Eye-Fi Share, so you pretty much already know how it works — you shoot, it uploads — and it’s even the same $99 price, so yeah, yawn. Hopefully these two will do something a little more interesting now that they’ve gotten used to working together. Lexar also kicked out a number of other cards, including a new 4GB Memory Stick Micro M2 card, a 16GB Platinum II 60x SDHC card, and a 16GB Platinum II 80x CompactFlash card — no pricing or availability on any of those yet, but we’d expect them soon.

The SSD market is starting to get pleasantly crowded — Lexar just announced a new line of Crucial-branded SSDs in both 32GB and 64GB capacities. The 2.5-inch SATA drives will offer sub-1ms latency, and Crucial will also be offering an external drive enclosure and 3.5-inch internal bay kit, which will allow you to pull your drive and take it with you on the go. No pricing is available yet, but Crucial says these’ll hit sometime in Q1.
