Everywhere I travel, for vacation or business, I carry a very small
wireless access point. As you know there are several brands — I use
the amazingly small D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router/AP w/
Client Mode, 802.11g, 54Mbps
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Z45DQ, around $50), but I’ve
had others before. The original idea was just a “long Ethernet
cable”, i.e., to not have to care where the idiots who wired the
hotel put the Ethernet cable. But three other relevant thoughts:

1. you can of course connect other laptops to the same,
shared connection with the D-Link in router mode, without buying a
second daily ‘net access;
2. I routinely use the same link for telephone calls with my
UMA-enabled Blackberry Curve, from all over the world;
3. it would solve the EyeFi problem you mention above, at
least in hotels.

A note on #2: ’tis quite cool to power up my Blackberry in Seoul,
have it temporarily say “No Network Found”, and then a few moments
later have it recognize my little WAP and say “T-Mobile” !! There is
no T-Mobile, nor any GSM at all, in Korea of course. Though I have a
UMTS phone also, it’s a heck of a lot cheaper (read: flat monthly
rate, with T-Mobile at Home service) to make calls to the US from the
‘net connection.

We are aware issues with certain Kodak EasyShare cameras, our engineering team is actively working to resolve the problem with these models.

Which Kodak model are you using?
