 Hi,
 
 I have a matrix of data which i can vizualize as an image - for example.
 I would like to save this image as a
 geotiff file or at a tiff file with a world file which holds the projection
 of my data (ultimately the data
 represent a map of some sort). I know i can save the data as an ESRI
 grid, but i am not interested in that.
 
 I wonder if anybody knows about any code which will help me do that.

See the writeGDAL() function in the rgdal package, and hints on how to 
turn your matrix into a SpatialGridDataFrame object in the sp package. 
For example:

data(volcano)
str(volcano)
image(volcano)
grd - GridTopology(c(0.5, 0.5), c(1, 1), c(87, 61))
SGDF - SpatialGridDataFrame(grd, data=data.frame(volcano=c(volcano)))
image(SGDF, volcano)

See the proj4string= argument to insert the projection in valid PROJ.4 
format. Then:

writeGDAL(SGDF, volcano.tif, drivername = GTiff, ...)

using the options= id needed, to pass through create options as on:

For follow-ups, please consider the R-sig-geo list.
