For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we've got a sexy little digital camera accessory: The Eye-Fi Pro, a 4GB Wi-Fi memory card that's got built-in geotagging capabilities and allows you to upload photos wirelessly to photo-sharing sites like Flickr, Picasa, and Facebook.

Editor Lori Grunin writes that the "Pro" version of the Eye-Fi adds three key features: "Support for raw file transfers, the capability to connect directly to a computer via an ad-hoc wireless connection, and selective file transfer. In addition, the company is surfacing a software feature--relayed uploads--which allows for transfers to your home system via the Internet."

Normally, the Eye-Fi Pro costs about $150, but you have the chance to get one gratis.

So, how do you try to win a free Eye-Fi Pro? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

  • Register as a CNET user. Go to the top of this page and hit the "Join CNET" link to start the registration process. If you're already registered, no need to register again.
  • Leave a comment below. You can leave whatever comment you want. If it's funny or insightful it won't help you win, but we're trying to have fun here, so anything entertaining is appreciated.
  • Leave only one comment. You may enter this specific giveaway only once. If you enter more than one comment, you will be automatically disqualified.
  • The winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) Eye-Fi Pro. Approximate retail value is $150.
  • If you are chosen, you will be notified via e-mail. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
  • Entries can be submitted until Monday, July 27, at noon EDT.
And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Sweepstakes ends at 12 PM EDT on July 27, 2009. See official rules for details.

Good luck.

I've actually got one of their first generation cards and really like it. This would be even better due to its video capabilities. Please, please, oh please, pick me!

Does the first gen one work well? I heard these really suck up the batteries and I don't like to recharge often...

Warts seem to never go away at least on my hands which is disturbing because I'm a very clean guy but i still go through great pains to have them removed since I now have like 3 or 5 nephews and nieces and since I've learned that babies and kids are very susceptible to them I try even harder to be dilligent about making sure they are treated which I admit is gross but still these are things life throws at you and you just gotta deal with it no sense in crying I mean some people gotta deal with colon cancer and here I am whinning about warts which not only do I have them but as a wonderful sign of aging I have a spot on my back which my dermatologist says is absolutely nothing but it still makes you wonder if you are being a hypocondriac or just sensible and I hope I am the latter in which case I will sleep better at night which I do only after having uploaded the photos of my nieces and nephews I mentioned earlier so you can see I'd rather be doing that from the comfort of my own bed instead of plugging the card into my laptop.

I'll take it - getting the files off of the camera is always the part that I hate doing!
