I wanted to make it easy for people to share the photos straight from their mobile device. I know a lot of phones don't have built in upload facilities (e.g. the iphone) so I wanted to make sure there was a mechanism to these people to get the photos to us. I had considered MMS but decided email would be the best solution in this day and age.

I definitely will allow browser based uploads at some point in the future.

iPhone definitely has upload facilities. I share photos from my phone directly to Facebook. I know it's not supported in Mobile Safari, but it's possible. I'd implement something like swfupload so that it's easy to upload the photos on to your site.

Isn't swfupload flash?

But, anyways it won't work on something like the iPhone because there is not folder structure for it to look for something. You have to build a iphone app like Facebook did.
