The folks at SixApart have released a couple of new plugins, one for TypePad and one for MovableType, that allow you to blog from your iPhone and iPod touch:
Today we are happy to announce Movable Type for the iPhone and iPod Touch, made possible through a plugin developed by Brad Choate that makes use of the design developed by Walt Dickinson for TypePad. The plugin works by installing an alternate template set that is automatically used in place of the primary Movable Type user interface when the application is accessed via an iPhone or iPod Touch. The integration with Movable Type is totally seamless.
Not sure if this is any easier than blogging from any other mobile device, but it does give you one more thing you can use to try and justify the cost of an iPhone.
Hrm. I’d be happy for a generic alternate template setup for mobiles; I’ve no plans on buying an iPhone.
Now that the general method is in the wild, though, I wonder what other folks might cook up.
I’d rather buy a Blackberry
Maddox does a fine job showing why the iPhone sucks.
And yes Blackberry’s are way more useful and really help you get things done. Less eye candy, more work.
I have a BB Curve, and like it very much. But it’s not a convenient tool for blogging from.
