I agree that the product has marginal use for most people... we've lived without it just fine and can probably do so for years to come... TV... Internet... Home Computers... Microwave ovens, lightbulbs... automobiles... :-) all non-neccessities when you get down to it. But most of us have come to enjoy and depend on them. They were all relatively marginal and poor performers when first introduced. Wait five years and see. Who wants to keep track of cables?
If my DLSR would automatically upload my images to a designated network, comuter, or storage device when within range, I'd consider it a plus, but not a 'need to have' (for the things I do). I'd far prefer that a reader was not needed and that the camera had some software that managed which networks/destinations images could be uploaded to. The 'no thought' needed claims of this device are exaggerated.
