Pocket Blog

We got an email a few weeks ago about this “Mobile offline Blogger” program for Pocket PCs that would allow weblogers to compose entries on their Pocket PC and have them post when you sync. I’ve wanted to do a little thoughting about this for a while. The idea of a ‘mobile offline blogging” This isn’t a new idea; folks have been doing it for a long time. For instance, I have running word documents in which I compose weblog entries that is kept on my Jornada (Granted I rarely use this, but the idea is there). I’ve been told that Greymatter will work with AvantGo, and I assume MoveableType will as well. There is something really convient about having a database type program that automatically posts entries to the CMS. I think this might be something that would help my ability to Blog more effectively. I’d like a spell checker and a slightly more advanced implementation on the side of the various CMSes, but it isn’t a perfect world I suppose. Pocket Blog is currently in Beta if you are daring enough, and I eagerly await its final release.
