Perhaps someone with a CR-48 can enlighten me... how does one get their photos from their camera to the cloud on one of these?



They went into a bit of detail during the keynote. It's worth checking out a video if you can find one. It's towards the end, in the last 20 minutes.

Anyway, the gist is, a web application (say, Picasa, or Facebook) can register as a file handler for certain kinds of file types (say images) and then handle the upload from the client. A little contextual menu comes up when you plug in a sd card or whatever that asks you which (if any) file handler you'd like to deal with the files.


In the keynote, the demo showed them putting an SD card in the machine and using a file manager to manually select and upload the files to Picasa.
