I was thinking less of a camera which has built-in wifi (as with gps, that strikes me as a bit of an abomination) as an SD card that has one. Looking at the descriptions of the wifi SD cards out there, it seems to be kind of as I described, but if that were so, why would there be need for dedicated software applications for them? (Also, customer reviews seem at best mixed, which is why I asked if anyone had one that was reliable.)

If a camera with a whole huge menu system cannot advertise itself with an IP address, it seems less likely with a teeny SD card.

That's why I remarked about reading yesterday's Nikon S800c review and still not understanding. The S800c is running full fledged Android! And yet the review did not show how to reach it from arbitrary computers on the network.
