LAS VEGAS --Eye-Fi, the innovative SD card maker, has announced yet another new feature for its Wi-Fi equipped cards. Announced at CES 2009, the update adds direct YouTube uploads to the range of services, meaning that videos snapped with your digicam can be beamed through the air and end up in front of a global audience before you have even realized what you have done.

This is possibly the scariest thing I have heard of since the birth of the cellphone video camera. It also has interesting ramifications for the citizen-journalist or the whistle-blower. You can now get video out quick-smart via Wi-Fi before the burly security ape can drag his knuckles across the street to stop you.

Eye-Fi video will even work with cameras that capture HD video, such as the Nikon D90. Just make sure you have a lot of Wi-Fi bandwidth.
