Eye-Fi has announced it is developing a new iPhone application that will allow Eye-Fi card owners to send photos taken on an iPhone directly to their computer and the net.

The new application will let users pool all of their photos from both their iPhone and digital camera into folders on a computer and to one of 25 different websites.

As with the Eye-Fi Explore card, photos taken on an iPhone can be automatically tagged with information about where the picture was taken. Users can then view geotagged photos on a digital map and organise photos by location.

iPhone users who own an Eye-Fi wireless card can download the application for free from Apple's App Store when it is released. To get an email alert when the application is available from the App Store, visit the Eye-Fi website, where you can also check out a video of the app in action.
