Open Terminal Here
The Terminal Here plugin provides a Contextual Menu Module for the Finder in OS X. This CMM provides a popup menu item when right clicking on a directory or file with the option to 'Open Terminal Here'. When used on a file, it acts as if you used it on the directory the file is in.
When selected, Terminal.app will be launched if it is not already running, and a new window will be opened and a cd command issued to switch to the appropriate directory.
This is primarily intended for those who do a lot of UNIX style work and really need the Terminal.app to do it.

Did you know?
If you click the i <3 this icon on an app, that app is listed at the top of your profile, with a heart next to it. This also makes it easier for us to recommend other apps we think you will love.

I use the same command, but from within OnMyCommand, which is a free multi-purpose context-menu.
If you want to install different context-menu items for different tasks, I recommend OnMyCommand as a central, one-stop-shop hub for all of them. As opposed to install separate cm products.
@Anyone interested in this app:
Try the link beej posted 3 posts down. Quick & useful (drag to toolbar, click to open a terminal window, and you can also drop folders onto it), and there's a lot of other interesting stuff on his page.
I made a page for an Intel version of this here
Try this app, very easy to use and a nice readme
http://osx.iusethis.com/app/openterminal
intel mac users can use the Open Terminal Here Toolbar Script available from http://www.entropy.ch/software/applescript/welcome.html
I've added install instructions to the dmg:
Copy TerminalHerePlugin.plugin to ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ (for current user only) or /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ (for all users)
How do you install it? The readme doesn't say, and apparently his site is emptied...
New download link added.
It seems this doesn't work on Intel Macs?
