Like earlier Eye-Fi cards, the Mobile X2 can send pictures to your computer or certain photo-sharing sites without the need for any cables. But the Mobile X2 also marks the addition of a powerful new feature, Direct Mode, . Direct Mode allows users to connect their digital camera to their smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi, and then use an iOS or Android app to store the pictures, transfer them to other apps, or upload them wherever they like.

The Eye-Fi Mobile X2 is $80 and available for preorder now via Amazon, and will be available at Amazon and Best Buy on April 17.

If you own one of Eye-Fi's , don't fret: You'll reap the benefits of Direct Mode as well, thanks to a free update due later this week, alongside the release of the iOS and Android apps. In addition, Eye-Fi will be dropping the price of its X2 Pro card from $150 to $100.
