This is a better deal than, say, Kodak’s first Wi-Fi camera offering, which just facilitated T-Mobile connections: The CoolPix S7c is the only one of five new Nikon cameras that has Wi-Fi. The camera can also connect to other hotspots and home networks. It’s $350, has a 7.1-megapixel sensor (3072 by 2304 pixels), emulates up to ISO 1600, and sports a 3x optical zoom lens.
he details on Wi-Fi are scanty—there’s no information on whether it supports WPA, for instance—and it doesn’t appear to have a useful file-transfer feature like Secure FTP built in. Rather, you can email photographs to people from the camera. Woo! Please, folks, just built Secure FTP in, and perhaps something like PictureSync, which uses the APIs from many different photo services to allow direct uploads. You can only seemingly transfer images via Wi-Fi directly to a computer while on the same WLAN, with the computer having special Nikon software installed. No, no, no! Open it up, folks.
The T-Mobile deal is 12 months of free usage via the camera, with service needing to be activated by Sept. 30, 2007.

Couldn't agree more, get rid of the specific solutions for connecting a camera via Wireless.
A coule of month ago I tested the Canon and Nikon Wireless camera solutions, and both were based on proprietary software. Just hooking up to your local access point is not possible. Of course, entering a web-key is not easy to be done in a camera, but let's face it: if you have to install special software (via a cable) to hook up your camera, what is the use of wireless. You still won't be able to share your pictures when you are at your friends.
