Eye-Fi, the folks behind the world’s first wireless memory card for digital cameras, announced it is developing an iPhone app that will allow Eye-Fi card owners to send photos taken on an iPhone directly to their computer and the Web.

The idea behind the dedicated application is to allow users to aggregate all of their photos — from both an iPhone and a digital camera — into organized folders on a computer, and/or to one of 25 online photo sharing and social networking Web sites. Photos taken on an iPhone will be automatically tagged with information about where the picture was taken, so that you can view them [photos] on a map and organize them by location.

Eye-Fi is currently previewing its iPhone app at Macworld in San Francisco, in booth #3315 in the North Hall, and if you want to know when the application becomes available for download, you can sign-up for an email alert on Eye-Fi’s website.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
