> how will she copy the photos off her camera?

The hardware has an SD reader, but the software support (media browser/file manager) is not yet ready. You can enable a very basic one if you go into the settings (I think), but it's not very pretty.

> how will she resize them (let alone rotate or crop) before uploading them to facebook?

Mugtug Darkroom? Aviary? Picnik?

I've done some small HTML5 image uploading tests.

It is very easy to crop and resize the images on the client side before you upload them. You can easily do it in Canvas. I did all processing on the client side, make a normal sized picture, and a thumbnail, then upload both of those two with a nice progress bar.

HTML5 really fixes very much of those problems :-)))
