    Yeah. I have an air stash that works off wifi. They work great and easy to save and email a pic.
    Doesn't upload as fast as a computer but great for sitting on a stand.

    It doesn't work on my 4 either. Though the guy at Target said it would. I got some message saying it wasn't supported for this device so I took it back.

    Same message. I read online that it doesn't work for the 5S. I was really looking forward to using it.

    This walmart streamer works great. It sets up a local wifi network from the reader. Much faster than Bluetooth. Able to see the pics on my iPhone 4 with the media viewer app. Takes the waiting out of card viewing

    You don't need to connect to wifi because it creates a wifi signal that your phone connects to.

    I have a hard time believing it's faster than bluetooth, at least the latest version. I can AirDrop videos & photos to my brother's phone over bluetooth way faster than I can download anything.


    I'm curious about this streamer. My original AirStash still works, but eventually I'm sure the battery will stop taking a charge. I like the Idea of integrating the charger into it as well. Just interested to see if the combination works as good as the streamer and separate charger I'm using now.

    Of course, at this price point, I could handling picking one up and doing a side by side comparison. :tu:

    On an Android phone you only need a 3 buck otg adapter cable and the USB adapter that comes with some cards now.... phone reads it as a drive just like your computer does...

    I have 2 memory cards for my deer cam. . . I keep a digital camera with me and when I go to my deer cam, I just switch out the cards!

    If I can't wait until I get home to see what's on the card, I just use the digital camera!.. Most of the time I can't wait to get home! :)

    If I have some good bucks on the card, Then I'll put them on my Laptop!

    That's how my GoPro works. . . It has Wifi on it!

    I have the GoPro App on my phone, and I can turn the Wifi on the GoPro and look at the preview on my phone!

    All I'm looking for its something I can scan through pictures on my phone before driving home.

    I tried the digital camera thing and it didn't read my cards. It says they aren't formatted. I only tried once since I don't want to lose my pics

    You have to change settings in your camera to it to read your sd card. My DSLR said that as well until I switched a setting on it. Forget what setting it was though.

    The blue tooth and wifi are both about the same at 15mbps. Plenty fast to transfer pictures. These streamers works great

    This is what I do, because I always have my Canon digital with me anyway. I try to keep things simple.
