Jen, I have the pro card, but haven't used it yet. Hope to get my D90 back from loan this week for a project I need it for - then I can try it out :)

I'm also only interested in loading to my iPad only. I've a D5100.
interested to see how you guys are rating the eye-fi cards now?

Couldn't wait :D
4g class 6 eye-fi @ £40 from Amazon is on its way ...

My plan is to synch with my iPad to get results on the go

Well the Eye-Fi card arrived today. Setup was easy enough though not a straightforward as I'd expected. After a bit of fiddling, my D5100 photos are being transmitted to my iPad. My wifi router is in my study. There, the photo transmits almost instantaneously. From my lounge, about 60 ft through two partition walls, it's taking 10 - 20 seconds...which surprised me since my iPad, iPhone, iTouch and laptop (phew) don't seem to have any lag. I wonder if that's down to low power consumption of the card?
Anyway, seems to do what it says on the tin...so I'm off to play now :)

Interesting. Mine (same card) takes well over a minute per photo to download.
Files are about 8-9mb each. Maybe slow computer??

I'm using my iPad and it's not that fast. My pics are jpeg fine ... And it's pretty fast transferring them

When within 10' of the router there was no discernible lag time.
