Testing 'Pocket Blogger' on my MDA Pro.The trial version of Opera I used to blog on this thing expired, and I figured rather than go right ahead and pay for the full commercial version, I'd give this free blogging program a try... especially since The built in version of IE works fine for most other sites I may want to use while on holiday.
So here goes....
Testing, testing....

Following up from yesterday's post, I've found a really cool piece of software for my MDA.I haven't tried it yet, but if it works, it would enable a potentially very interesting/popular feature on my new website.
What is it?
Mobile webcam!
Eh?
You've seen my home webcam. Imagine something similar, but outside... wherever I happen to be. How cool would that be?
More details as and when I've tested it.

I have a new toy... probably the ultimate toy for your everyday gadget freak.
The T-Mobile MDA Pro... this thing is a 3G videophone, a camera, a sat-nav unit, a movie and music player, and an entire internet connected pc in your pocket. It's actually easier to list what it doesn't do than what it does.
So it doesn't make toast or do the laundry, but it's got pretty much everything else covered.
I bought it for 3 main purposes, largely related to the frequent siteseeing trips and short holidays Andrea and I are going on lately.
The Sat-nav will get us there without getting lost, and then I can blog our visits and journeys, including photos, while we're still there, instead of having to wait till we get home.
I also wanted to be able to go into irc chat from wherever I feel like... such as in the middle of a field out in god knows where. So when I get my new chatroom set up, you may find yourself chatting to me while I'm sitting at the top of a hill out in the peak district... assuming I can get a signal.
The only faults I can find with it are the backlight, which has an annoying habit of not turning on when you power up, so you have to go into settings... and the browser. Pocket Internet Explorer may look nice, but it has no java script support, which makes it impossible to use blogger. Duh!
Obviously I found a way around this. I installed Opera.
I could go on all day about this thing but bleh. Just go out and buy one. Your internet usage will never be the same again.
