Have a look at Mapjack’s image collection system. It’s a bicycle! I’m very impressed how lightweight their system is. Getting a power supply, a camera array, a GPS and a computer to fit in that little backpack is no mean feat.

Mapjack now in Thailand
Mapjack (a competitor to Googles StreetView) have now added a city in Thailand. The city is named Chiang Mai. They already have street view images from San Francisco in high quality. As you can see from the image above, Mapjack uses Google Maps to point out where their images have been taken. (thanks Hatebreed Fan)
Another StreetView type site opens up
Inside Crobar in Miami. Link
EveryScape is opening up today with similar 360 degree images of cities like Google Maps. This service also offer interior views inside bars, shops and restaurants for instance.
EveryScape launched its beta site with outdoor views of Boston and New York City and interior and exterior views of Miami and Aspen. The company plans to expand its interior views and to introduce new cities, including Laguna Beach, California, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, in coming months. (RedHerring).
Other similar services are offered by Earthmine, Mapjack and Microsoft Live Virtual Earth. Google Streetview is getting some serious competition but is still the clear market leader.
