We have just announced a couple of new exciting features at the All Things D conference, one of which is the ability to upload photos to twitter.com.
Uploading photos to Twitter is currently available on the twitter.com desktop version, and its access is initially limited to a very small number of users. In the next couple of weeks, as we progressively ramp up the number of users who have access to the feature, we'll provide you with more details about how you can use the "Tweet-with-photo" API.
For now, the only change you'll notice on the API side is a new "media" entity in the status object. We encourage you to support rendering, and to help you with that, we just revamped the Tweet Entities documentation page, describing in detail how you can use this structured data: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_entities
Note that we also updated our API Terms of Service [1] and our Display Guidelines [2] to include this new feature.
As ever, if you have questions about the new media entity or our ToS changes, let us know on the list or through @twitterapi.

- The first Public Tweets with Photos will come by the end of the week. We'll of course update the documentation as soon as it will be live :) - Concerning API Terms, you can take a look on our TOS diff here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_terms_diff

Any leads on when third party developers will get the option to upload
photos and videos to Twitter? We as Mobypicture.com would love to be
able to post the photo/video to Twitter as well, instead of only the
tweet
Similar services on Twitter clients and other social networks screen
for objectionable content.
Will Twitter have some system to avoid the pitfalls faced by other,
similar services? If the content is uploaded on to Twitter's servers,
you are taking responsibility for it.

The first public tweet with a twitter.com uploaded photo has just been published. We just updated our JSON example on the Tweet entities documentation page: https://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_entities#media
We're excited to see you guys support rendering of these photos. Let us know how it goes!

Can you provide guidance on the thumbnail size, specifically will it be at least 150x150 (that's what the sample has and IMO is a good thumbnail size).

Thanks for making the example live. Have now got it displaying the
thumbs in http://dab.argh.tc/ however I've "retweeted" the message
using the oldskool method of "RT @twitter: #Photos on Twitter: taking
flight http://t.co/qbJx26r << now supported in dab.argh" but this
doesn't bring out any media entities, just the url ones, but I have no
method of converting "expanded_url" : "http://twitter.com/twitter/ status/76360760606986241/photo/1" to "media_url": "http://p.twimg.com/ AQ9JtQsCEAA7dEN.jpg".
Is there a simple algorithm behind it, or will you be supporting
people who just copy and paste the url in to their statuses in the
future?

Will you (and the rest of the dev/platform team, of course) also make these available via services such as Embed.ly (OEmbed)?
Currently my entire image implementation depends on parsing images from the tweet's text instead of the entities, and I'd like to keep it like that. :-)

For now we're focusing on opening the Twitter Photo API endpoints to third party developers. These new API endpoints will be dedicated to Twitter media hosting, you won't be able to use them as a bridge/proxy for other media hosting services.

From a 'pretty reliable source' I got some information about the new API endpoint, how it works, etc. You probably won't be able to use it yet but I feel like sharing this information anyway :-)

Photos posted with Twitter's new photo service appear as links within tweets, much like any other URL in tweets. There's no explicit API to just fetch images posted on Twitter, or just images posted using the new Twitter photo functionality.
