You can do this already with most common GPSs. I use a Garmin Legend. You just need to be able to save your tracklog as a standard GPX file. Then use a program like RoboGeo to automatically geotag a folder of pictures using the data from the tracklog. You can specify a time offset if the clocks on the camera and gps aren't exactly synced.
If you use the new beta of Picasa (free, from Google) you will have an option to view your geotagged photos in Google Earth. It seems to show all geotagged photos in your Picasa library, so it effectively turns Google Earth into a geographic browser of your photo collection.
I just geotagged my last trip using this method and it took just a couple minutes.

I use http://www.trekinu.com service to make travel albums
it's more a tool to make albums and sent to friends and family because the final result is photos on a map presentation (with option to add sound)
