No, while the EyeFi does, the Blackberry I am using does not support that. It would kind of defeat the purpose that I had in mind any way. The idea was to have the EyeFi upload all my pictures to Picasa or whatever and select ones that I flag (by locking them in the camera) to another location, probably facebook. I want this to happen with as little effort as possible on my part. Basically I just want to plug the card in and have the uploads occur while I eat lunch or whatever. The card can be configured to do exactly that, which is why I bought it. Hopefully that will actually work out in practice.

When I want to mess around with either the blackberry or a computer at a library or where ever I will be updating a Crazy Guy journal. I have always found the library computer photo transfers too time consuming to upload all my pictures and I always run out of the allotted time unless I just upload a few preselected pictures. I also seem to find libraries that are open when I want to stop pretty seldom, like once a week if I an lucky.

I guess I will see how this works out. Worst case, I'll do text journal entries with the Blackberry and occasional photos with a card reader at the library or with a motel lobby computer if I get a room like I did on my last trip.
