London, UK, 1st July 2015 — Eyefi (http://en.eyefi.com), the global leader in digital photo apps and services, today announces its award winning photography solution is now available for Windows phones. Millions of Windows phone users can now take pictures with both their digital cameras and mobile phones, with all pictures being automatically organised altogether and available to share instantly.

With Eyefi,anyone can experience the satisfaction of finding and sharing pictures from all their cameras without having to wait. The app leverages unique features that are part of the Windows phone platform including Live Tiles.
