There are various Eye-Fi cards. For "Share" and above, it will upload to online services, for the "Explore" card and above it will geotag using Skyhook (which is reasonably good in dense urban areas, but of no use where there isn't wifi).
Engadget reviewed the top-end model, the 4GB Pro, U$150. It adds the ability to upload RAW files, as well as to send photos directly to your computer over an ad-hoc wireless network (which requires some configuration). This effectively means that (within the range of your computer) you have a remote hard drive that can store your photos as soon as they are taken.
It's hard not to like the functionality of the Eye-Fi Pro. Before this, having pictures sent directly to a PC was something only on offer by higher-end DSLRs. Now any cheap compact with an SD slot can do it.
