Eye-Fi has a huge NAND chip in there
Relatively speaking.
It doesn't really work like that. One reason is because card firmware is not something users will always have access to - a washing machine vendor isn't likely to open their code and so it needs to stay private. If people ran their own servers then they'd need the entire code database for every vendor in order to make things work seamlessly.
Fair enough. Maybe you could offer a less fully-featured server with more limited functionality (i.e. proprietary bits removed) for hobbyists to use, though?
Good to hear you're at least somewhat receptive to the idea of prepaid activation though. Seems like a win-win to me, you guys get cash up front and we don't have to worry about yet another subscription to manage.
I suppose the blog is the place to stay tuned for further announcements about manufacturers you're partnering with, etc.? Or is there some social media channel you're using that would be more up to date than that?
