Eye-Fi cards make this sort of thing very easy. You can turn almost any
digital camera that accepts SD cards into a WiFi connected camera.

For camera, either use one that has a built in timer (less common in
point and shoots, DSLRs either have the feature, or you can get it with
a cheap trigger cable).=20

If you have an older Canon point and shoot head over to the CHDK
website. They are an open source effort that creates custom firmwares
for a HUGE number of Canon P&S cameras. The firmware is loaded from the
SD card and is NOT permanent, don't put the special SD card in the
camera and your camera reverts to it's original firmware. One of the
features this extension offers is time lapse photography.
