This is one of the reasons why Android's "Instant Upload"[1] feature is so awesome. Every Android device running 2.2+ is capable of instantly uploading photos and videos taken with your phone into a private folder on your Google+ account... not sure if the iPhone Google+ app will also do this, can anyone confirm?

There are other solutions proposed in this thread, but if you have an aversion to Google services (or perhaps an iPhone), you can also try out the new Dropbox beta that also has automatic uploading of photos and videos from your phone[2].

  P.S. This issue is another reason why it's so important
  that the tech community has a voice in the upcoming
  FCC spectrum auctions. Congress is currently trying to
  prevent the FCC from placing conditions on the auction,
  which will surely keep the spectrum in the hands of the
  biggest telco players and prevent more competition &
  innovation in the wireless market.
