We have the eye-of-gnome plugin for multiple site photo upload, and a
totem plugin for video upload. There is a nautilus extension for folder
sync to/from online services, and we are also working on a smaller
applet/tray icon for mobile device sync only (i.e. detects your phone
when connected, pre-configures sync with evolution, and  just does it.
In case of error it then launches the main GUI)

We will probably blog about the latter very soon.
