iPhones ready for web gallery now
Well, here's something interesting. This morning, I had three options when working with photos on my iPhone: "Use as Wallpaper," "Email Photo" and "Assign to Contact." Well, I turned my phone on a minute ago (about 4:15 PM Eastern), and a fourth option has appeared: "Send to Web Gallery." No sync, no connection to my computer, it's just there.If you haven't restarted your iPhone today, do it now. A surprise may be waiting for you.
Thanks, Kit!
Update: It looks like you must have a .Mac email account set up on your phone for this to work. Also, attempts to send a photo to a gallery result in a prompt to configure .Mac. However, that option is not available on the .Mac hompage. Perhaps iLife '08 must be installed.

Also, I tried Photobucket by emailing it photos from my iPhone and the quality sucked big time.
And the hack I just mentioned is only for one gallery. Make sure you give it a good name in iPhoto before you create it.
Hack:
All you need is to use a computer with iLife '08 on it for a couple of minutes. I hit up the Computer Store on my campus that had a new iMac, went into System Preferences and added my .mac info, opened iPhoto, and created a web gallery. I emailed myself the link of the web gallery. And then took my username and password out of the System Preferences.
the web gallery is a .mac thing they ownthe URL and made the idea

Then suddenly a few minutes ago a new button appeared on my iPhone photo library. As I don't own new iLife 08 yet, I don't have web gallery myself. I guess something weird going inside my iPhone. --- BTW only difference between this case is my iPhone was connected to WiFi when the change happened.
You can do the same without a .Mac account.
Using a photobucket.com account you can upload photos to your account from your phone. If you have a computer running at home you can make a mail rule that forwards the photobucket reciept/link email to all of your friends and family.
Doesn't cost a dime and take 3 minutes to set up.
I have iLife 08, a web gallery, the latest software on my iPhone a .mac account and a mac. I do not have the new button.

I tried everything people said, and finally one smart person on here said to check your .Mac email on your iPhone and THAT DID IT.
To the person who said they removed their .Mac email from their iPhone due to spam:
I did the same thing but as of yesterday .Mac online mail has been upgraded where we can now filter out junk mail before it gets to our iPhone, Mail app or whatever you are using. GOOD NEWS!!!
