Yes, we do in fact need a usable MediaWiki editing and upload interface for mobile browsers. Next big moon-shot project?

This is indeed our target for what the VisualEditor will provide for mobile and desktop alike - though the Mobile team's awesome (beta) insta-upload and paragraph-level wikitext editing they showed off last week are almost there already, and deserves huge praise.

As James said, Mobile Editing is already in Beta - along with Photo Upload. We're also working on a dedicated Media Upload application - IIRC 'at least 1,000 retained Mobile Uploads a Month' is a goal we intend to hit by July or so.

Ship in a pile of those $50 Huawei phones for testing ;-)

I'm working out of India, so close enough :P
At least for Media Upload from devices, I'll make sure it works fine on low power devices. No way to show off to my friends otherwise :)

I can't wait to be able to publish in wikivoyage the pics of place I travel to (kind of like foursquare) :-D
How do I use the beta photo upload? Is that a specific app? Should I just browse to http://commons.m.wikimedia.org/ ?

It is a little messy currently, I believe. You need to go to the Mobile site (en.m.wikipedia.org), Log In, Enable the Beta, and then you'll find a small bar saying 'upload first photograph for this article' on any article missing a photograph. Available only to logged in users who have enabled the beta, on select mobile browsers only.
CCing Jon who did the feature.
Blog post about all of this (photo upload, editing etc) is pending deployment. It'll have more detail. Fun stuff.

We are just beginning to give attention into our mobile editing edits currently these are only available if you are logged in and have opt into the beta/alpha versions [1] of any of the projects sites.
Currently photo upload only shows up when you visit a page which has no photos in the lead section. Currently it shows up in other places but a fix is on the way. It is also currently limited to Webkit browsers so if any volunteers want to poke at the code and give us greater coverage that would be awesome.
Feel free to try out the Commons:Sandbox [2] or similar simply delete any existing images and give it a go.
I was talking to Maryana about creating a page where you can donate images. I wrote a patch for this (yet to be merged) [3] that adds a 'donate image' link to the menu (I imagine in future this come be incorporated into a user page some how). This would allow you to upload images through your mobile device and then add them to articles later. I think this would satisfy the Antoine Musso's of the world :)
