TypePad supports blogging from handhelds

Typepad_mobile_palm_1Not that I'd want to blog solely from a Windows Mobile device, but it's nice to know you can. I've seen software options for blog platforms over the past two years, but TypePad just joined the fray with their TypePad Mobile application. It's not just Windows Mobile actually, TypePad Mobile is supported on the Palm (shown) and Symbian platforms as well. The new application is a direct result from SixApart's purchase of SplashBlog earlier this year.

Again, if you're a heavy duty TypePad blogger like James or me, this wouldn't be your main client. This is perfect for the occasional post while on the road or for a photo album blog. Come to think of it, with a camera-enabled handheld, TypePad Mobile would be killer for a photo blog, much like SplashBlog was. The download is free and available directly through the SixApart folks; you can pull it down directly from your handheld at this link.

Of course, some people have been lucky enough to be able to post from mobiles for sometime - as you have mentioned. It's nice to see our poorer cousins now able to catch up ;-)

Cheers

Being a modest chap I neglected to mention, in my previous comment, my mobile blogging site http://lowjib7.blogspot.com.
