Of course, this all depends upon the device being able to wirelessly
write and read.  From the product description we know it will copy
photos from the SD card to a Wi-fi router/device, but does it write
data to the SD card when in the camera.  I wouldn't want to assume
anything.  I would think it would remove or flag the JPG file image on
the card in the camera that it had be "synchronized" to the photo
storage area on the wi-fi network (or whatever terminology they would
call it).
