Cell phone blogging

February 14, 2005 / Filed under: Technology, Web Sites

My last few blog posts (this one included) have been submitted on my cell phone.

With alternative internet devices flooding the wireless market, I like my options of being able to update my blog without having to find a LAN, or internet connection.

However, my current cell phone is hardly a technological breakthrough.

As with most handheld devices, the limitations are endless:

  • 1 inch by 1 inch screen
  • A limit of 800 characters for input forms
  • irregular keypad, causing extremely slow typing
  • Inability to format images, or anything other than text
  • Genral lack of functionality

Despite these drawbacks, I still enjoy the occasional "cell phone post," especially while sitting in traffic.
