This is a request for help from people who have Google Gears installed. Could you try the following demo:
http://www.appelsiini.net/demo/gears_upload/demo.htmlJust drag and drop image or multiple images to the page and they are uploaded. I try to figure out if there are any browsers with which this does not work. I already know Gears is broken with FireFox 3.5.x. This should be fixed in next Release of Gears.
