Wi-Fi enabled SD-Cards are nothing new, but they are sticking out of the SD-Card slot and are not usable in digital cameras if you need to close the slot.
Eye-Fi plans to reveal details about their beta (?, just release the darn thing, beta is for software) trial.

MP3 Player Headset with Bluetooth, FM and SD-Card Slot
Hong Kong based OMIZ Industrial offers a 4-in-1 headset. The OMS600 headset features MP3 player, Bluetooth interface, FM Tuner and SD-Card slot. This MP3 Player headset features also an LCD screen.
The only product photo on their site features the
The Aviator film with Leonardo Di Caprio. I guess they have a promotion going in Hong Kong with the movie. No information on the price and on availability.
See also the OMIZ site.
To combine bluetooth with the MP3 player function in the headset makes sense. This way the headset can also work as a handsfree for the mobile phone.
Update:
There are a couple auctions on eBay for this OMIZ bluetooth headset. (Thanks Myonaut)
The TDK MOJO MP3 Player Headset is now selling at a low $89.97 on Amazon.com.

Sandisk Wi-fi and Storage SD-Card
Sandisk is planning to offer a wi-fi and storage combination SD-Card.
Why is that a necessary product? Well most of the Gadgets on the market today only have one SD-Card slot. By having storage and WLAN feature on one card users can go online with their PDA and still use the data stored on their SD-Card.
Brighthand.com writes that Sandisk is waiting for Microsoft to put out an update to Windows Mobile 2003 to support the dual-function SD-Card. SanDisk's Wi-Fi SDIO card with 256 MB of memory will have a suggested retail price of about $150.
