Windows Phone Thoughts: TypePad Mobile Released by Six Apart

"Today we're excited to announce the release of TypePad Mobile, a free application for your Palm, Windows Mobile or Symbian Series 60 smartphone that lets you post photos and entries to your TypePad blogs and photo albums with just a few clicks. It's just the latest step in our goal to support blogging from wherever, whenever. TypePad Mobile comes from Six Apart's acquisition of SplashBlog. The Splash team has years of experience developing easy to use mobile applications, and we're excited to have them be delivering smartphone applications designed specifically to work with TypePad. If you have a TypePad blog and a smartphone that runs Palm OS 5, Windows Mobile 5, or Symbian Series 60, check out screenshots and download the application that fits your phone. Or visit our site from your smartphone to install it directly to your device. If you're curious, you can also read the TypePad Mobile User Guide in our (freshly redesigned) Knowledge Base."



If you use TypePad to run your blog, you now have the "official" solution for updating it from your Windows Mobile device. This is great to see, although I'd need something that works with WordPress - anyone know of an option? And speaking of blogs, does anyone regularly update their blog from their Windows Mobile device? It seems like one of those "great in theory" things, and while totally impressive to do, I have to wonder how many people do it. Raise your hand if you do and set me straight!
